How can these people possibly be serious... they talk of making sure to use science in wolf management then they say that looking into their eyes you see your own soul!    they are delusional!

But let’s let ungulate populations tank because of bad intent and politics...

[STARVATION]

A few hundred bucks of poison would control them too.

But then where would W.D.F.W. waste their money.

And who is janice brookshire?  Other than a delusional fool with a disneyesque view of nature?

She’s a lover of wolves and apex predators... that’s all that matters to wdfw and the media .

They're not actually that stupid.  Their endgame is an end to  hunting, and predators are the method to get us there.  WDFW obviously prefers predators to anything else.

“It is not a fact that killing wolves is an effective means of solving conflicts between wolves and livestock,” Ressler said.

BS! First of all, any wolf killed won't be causing any more conflict. So, right there, she's stupid. And it's well documented worldwide that when you start killing wolves, they retreat into more seclusion from humans. This is exactly what's needed. Our state government's pandering to the Defenders of Wildlife and other radical environmentalist and anti-hunting groups is getting tiresome and the results...well, there are no results other than a siege of the businesses and families of the NE corner. I am adamantly opposed to poaching...until such time as the government fails to take appropriate action to protect our citizens and their assets. Delist and manage. This is so far out of hand it's crazy.

Your criteria has been passed some time ago.

Have you ever looked into the eyes of a wolf? Why would I want to look into the eyes of a killer.

I am aware.

How else will you see your soul? I do agree that hunting wolves isn't effective. They should be destroyed entirely in Washingron. When they wiped out the indigenous wolves a hundred years ago they brought the wolf and livestock conflict to zero.

[Skyvalhunter]

Your not about to see your soul in someone else's eyes.

That's never going to be an option in WA again. We need to work within the existing situation and get people to understand that training wolves to fear humans will be the most effective deterrent to conflict. We accomplish that by killing them on sight when we have the opportunity. This is why delisting nationally and on the state level is crucial.

This state is delusional, and should see it's soul in a mirror. They are going to kill an industry here in this state if not better governed/ran/etc. And this lady,her and that Orosco lady are buddies obviously.#cowfartersunitelol

Pman is full of wisdom!

I’ll also say that someone’s opinion (professional or otherwise) should be completely written off when they start saying crap like seeing your soul in a wolf.

These things are nothing more than animals. Predators in a predator/prey ecosystem and should be treated as such. At this point they will not go away but should absolutely be managed and should learn to fear humans and civilization.

Not sure how they came up with the conclusions they did, but as of 2016 both major WA state universities that actually researched the wolf/livestock concluded that killing wolves did decrease said conflict so long as you kill enough of them. Sounds out of this world mind blowing, I know.
