I really don't understand why everyone thinks that the only animals that wolves kill are the weak ones.  :dunno: I am pretty sure none of them have ever actually been out in the woods or seen what kind of predators they are. All they know is what they see in pictures and on the nature shows. Lets release them close to their cities and see if they just prey on the old and weak pets and livestock there...  :yike:

They wolf lovers try to make it sound like wolves are the only predators.  Plenty of cougars and bears out killing deer, elk, moose, buffalo.

“If people tell me they’re pro-wolf, then I’m pro-wolf. If they say they’re anti-wolf, I’m anti-wolf. I run a business, and I don’t want anarchy.”

That's a true opportunist. I've eaten at that place and it wasn't half bad. Even though it's easy to criticize opportunists, it's ultimately a significant part of who I am, what some of you are, and what a vast majority of the first who settled the west were.

Wolves are opportunists. They'll take the sick, injured, or young if available; the healthy & vibrant if they can catch them. The argument about taking exclusively the sick or the old is so beaten to death that I can barely finish the article when it's mentioned.......

There was a bull in the Northern Yellowstone range that was called "bull number 10". It was famous for being smart, aggressive towards tourists, and for having its antlers cut off once or twice by park managers. I was fortunate enough to have a great look at that bull about 4 years ago on a day that was almost -20 below in that part of Yellowstone, and he was a magnificent animal. He ended up going down to wolves at the age of 17 or so........No relevance to this story, but reading the article reminded me of it.

The wolf argument is dominated by talking points from either side at both the national and local level. This article is just another in a long line that proves that. One person's furry little puppy on a DOW postcard is another person's 250 lb. Canadian grey that survives on nothing but children waiting at bus stops.

Which side are you on if neither will claim you?
