Wolves need to have value as a game animal in order to have peace. When an animal has value and hunters want to harvest it, it will be managed correctly. I know this is an opinion but I truly believe you can look at Africa for predator game management success.
I am not one who thinks that wolves are good for deer, elk, et. al if left unchecked. I am from the prospective that they have been a part of the ecosystem for as long as it has been around. I think a healthy population, like cougar, bear and coyotes, are a good thing. I did not agree with how the individual that got banned took over every post on this topic. But I am concerned that any opinion other than wolves are a menace that needs to be eradicated is shouted down and banned. There needs to be room for a differing opinion or what is the point of a forum?

Just to clarify, humanure was given a warning and a short ban not long ago due to the fact his posts continued to decline to a lower level and he continued to change the topic in wolf posts. His own actions and the number of requests I recieved from other members regarding his actions is what earned him a permanent ban. You are welcome to take any position on wolves, but dont use his methods.
