Sickening

[AspenBud]

Habitat loss is a red herring that the people who love wolves like to throw out there to deflect attention from the damage wolves do. It's as if they're saying "since there's habitat loss, you shouldn't pay attention to the damage the wolves are doing at all". Nice try! Habitat loss will always be a major problem. Until our population stop growing, it will continue to be a major problem. Wolves are also a major problem. We can do something about them.  Just sayin'. There are two things we can do - manage wolves and close our borders so illegals stop pouring into our country.

Wolves don't matter without habitat. Period.

A few years ago, the government of Alberta decided that 6,000 wolves needed to be culled to bring the population under control. I wonder how far they got with that?

They did that because of increasing deer numbers that were increasing the wolf population and putting pressure on caribou. How did that happen? Mineral development changed the...habitat.

Thanks for posting Machias These are the sort of videos the public needs to see, it shows the wolves in their natural state. Not quite the cute cuddle wolf that pro-wolfers like to advertise.

Do you get cable? Seriously, stuff like this gets shown on quite a few nature documentaries dealing with wolves. I really don't think you understand the audience you have to deal with.

Just love the people that throw habitat loss out but are unwilling to start the snowball to fixing it by committing suicide.

anyone catch the comments of shoot a sportsman save wildlife on that page?
Man hearing him bleat out like that just sent crys of agony to me knowing he's suffering like that. Oil worker law or not break the law and do the humane thing.
Think I'd of shot the wolves or at least shot at them to scare them off. If deer wasnt' too badly hurt I'd of tryed to help it to safety and or shoot it out of compassion.
you can see him looking to see what they were doing at first at that point he may of lives who knows but still I couldn't sit there and do nothing I dont think.
as for the wolf statements they already are making impacts on the deer and elk herds at least that's what Im seeing around here.
If it's not then its the bears and cougers and other predators that we can't hunt with dogs any more so their numbers are becoming a burden on deer and elk.
Antis dream there!

Hate the wolf debate idea so I stay away from it....but like jasnt said-3 shots and the 3rd being for the sympathy for the deer. Sad situation.  Hey wolf lovers not the pretty photo on a postcard or some framed painting you see at the mall now is it!!??

If I witnessed that, I would have shot the deer first. Then I would have shot the wolves. Scaring them off would of resulted in a dead deer; regardless he was done. Then the wolves would have gone a killed another.

This is exactly why this whole wolf issue is going to spiral out of control. The western states should have never reintroduced wolves into Yellowstone. This will boil over sooner than later.

They probably have the same reaction that the guys who filmed this did.

 Somewhere a while back I remember seeing where someone on here was talking them up over habitat issues?

Increasingly the state of Alaska has been targeting wolves and bears, even in our national preserves, in an effort to boost moose and caribou populations for the benefit of human hunters. 



In addition to being cruel, this behavior threatens to upset the area’s natural balance. 



Unsporting hunting practices include shooting bears over bait and killing wolves, coyotes and bears in their dens, when they're raising young or when they're very young themselves. Such acts are considered taboo throughout much of the world; yet the state of Alaska will allow any measure, so long as it kills off as many wolves and bears as possible. 



It's a management style that has nothing to do with sound science and directly conflicts with the National Park Service's mandates to conserve wildlife and maintain natural processes on national preserves. For this reason the Park Service has proposed permanent rules exempting these preserves from the state's hunting methods.



Take action — tell the National Park Service you fully support its new rules to protect wildlife and defend the natural character of our national preserves.

you have the power to create change.

Man I hate seeing videos like that, I know it's nature but it is sickening.  I would of had to do something!  Can we post these videos on pro wolf sites?
