Re: This is disgusting.... really really sad....

I almost barfed when I read sorry if I spelled that wrong this. If I was in better shape and about 20 or something year's old.

I would take their guns and shove it right up there *bleep*s. Wolf's are my favorite animal.

And yes I am a big donkeyass in real life but I'll be dammed if I let someone do that to an animal I love so much.

Excuse my language Spyrorocks but this sickens me. Sometimes I can't belive I am a human half the time when things like this happen.

Re: This is disgusting.... really really sad....

Was going to comment more on the article itself, but I think there's a bigger problem here.

So this person likes to hunt and thinks there should be fewer wolves. I disagree with him, but why hate all of humanity because of it? Guess what? All of you are human. Everyone in this thread who has posted before me -- you're a human, and you don't think like that guy. We are not an evil race of killers; we are the only fully self-aware, intelligent animals on the planet. Some humans may do cruel things, but we're also the only creatures on this planet who can truly do good. And many people do. It's ridiculous to say you hate our species just because of incidents like this, when there are clear examples right in front of you of humans who care about the wolves just as much as you do.

Honestly, I am more disgusted when people claim to "hate humanity" than this article. Sorry about the rant; I'm just sick of hearing that everywhere.

I'm not saying I hate ALL humans, most of us are good, it's just those people that ARE bad that I hate.

Re: This is disgusting.... really really sad....

You said in your first post that "humans are a foul race." I'm not flaming, just strongly disagreeing with what you said.

@Neotyguy: As for humans being "killers" because we eat meat... well OK, you can look at it that way if you want to. But other animals eat meat too. tongue

Re: This is disgusting.... really really sad....

just because I say I hate people, dosen't mean I hate ALL people. its annoying that others assume that's what you mean when you obviously don't. its just that MOST people are disgusting, and thoes disgusting people give a bad name to thoes who are good. I'm fine with animals being killed for food... but killing for sport or killing for fur and skins is wrong. or at least thats how I see it.

READ my post please. You clearly did not read it at all, or never bothered to interpret it. I described the issue much more than a flimsy skin-deep thought. I never even addressed the human race in general.

Re: This is disgusting.... really really sad....

Yes I find it acceptable. To find this "disgusting" is a bit of an overreaction perhaps. What about all those chickens and cows that we kill, how is that any different to killing wolves? Besides aren't wolves supposed to be dangerous? By culling them it affectively halts a wolf problem allowing others to enjoy walks without being eaten

Re: This is disgusting.... really really sad....

If they're hunting and they keep the skins and eat it, I think it's fine.

If I had no other choice, I'd go out and hunt some animals. I value my life enough to do so.

But until that day comes I'll continue eating codfish and burgers tongue

Re: This is disgusting.... really really sad....

It's not just wolves attacking people that's the problem. If there are too many wolves, they'll kill off all of their prey in the area, which will not only result in a loss of animals like deer, but also an eventual loss of the wolves themselves once they run out of prey to eat. Also, if wolves become overpopulated, they'll have to move from their habitats into areas where humans live as they run out of space, meaning they'll have no choice but to attack people when they feel threatened.

Re: This is disgusting.... really really sad....

I don't like hunting, and I don't hunt any animal, but reading this and seeing that people hunt wolves is horrible and putrid. Wolves are beautiful and amazing animals who deserve to live in peace and be free from human harm. I am against animal hunting and this is just WRONG!

Re: This is disgusting.... really really sad....

Did you read any of the other posts like bmah's, Aceedwin's, or mine? It's necessary to keep their populations under control so they don't kill all their prey and eventually hunt themselves to extinction. The extent that this guy takes it is pretty extreme, but wolves are hunted for good reason.

Besides, why is it so much worse of a crime to kill wolves versus any other animal? Because they're "cool" or "beautiful" animals?

Re: This is disgusting.... really really sad....

Here's my argument: Are elk endangered? No. Are wolves? Yes. Isn't killing endangered animals a crime? So... those people should be locked up if justice still exists. And as someone else said, we should be helping wolves to survive, not killing them mercilessly.

Wolves aren't endangered. Not most wolves, anyways.

Re: This is disgusting.... really really sad....

And hunting them (at least controlled hunting) actually is helping them survive because they don't hunt their prey to the point where they have nothing left to eat.

Also, what about people who live in rural areas with lots of farms? The wolf population needs to be kept under control or farm animals and even people could get attacked when the wolves get desperate for food.

If they were hunting on a reservation, I'd agree with you. As it is, though, this is necessary. I don't, however, agree with whoever wrote that article; he seems to want as few wolves as possible so there can be more hunting. There just needs to be balance.
