Rich Landers: An issue of prey, not the endangered predator
http://www.spokesman.com/outdoors/stories/2014/may/29/rich-landers-an-issue-of-prey-not-the-endangered/ (http://www.spokesman.com/outdoors/stories/2014/may/29/rich-landers-an-issue-of-prey-not-the-endangered/)
Good story by Landers....
Quote
Hunting for wolves, which could eventually be allowed as a management tool, gets mixed reviews.
If wolves reach recovery thresholds, 63 percent of residents would support a wolf hunting season and 28 percent would oppose it. About a quarter of the opposition comes from people who are generally against all types of hunting.
But the support for wolf hunting varies depending on the reason:
69 percent would support hunting to maintain population objectives; 23 percent oppose.
65 percent support it to address livestock attacks; 25 oppose.
61 percent support it to address impacts on big game; 29 oppose.
Only 38 percent support hunting wolves for recreation; 53 percent oppose and most opposition is rated as strong.
