Wolves

[fightingquaker13]

What was I thinking!!!! I better fire up my hazarita bullet and go sit down and shut up before I say something controversial.  

I'll do it for you. We had the same deal in Fl. with bringing in cougars to boost our panther population. Good! We need a predator in the eco system (preferably one that eats developers and yankees) . Out west with the wolves? The way I see it is this. If you rent grazing rights on public land (at subsidized prices), you rent the wolves too. If the wolves eat a few cows, don't come crying to me. Don't like it? Rent on a private ranch.  If however, there are wolf kills on private land, the feds should get the bill for the livestock and the rancher should get to hang as many pelts in his living room as he wants.
Lets see....
Pissed off the farm bureau? check.
Pissed off wolf lovers? Check.
Pissed off those who resent the reintroduction? Check.
Pissed off PETA? check and check
Pissed off devolpers and yankees? Check.
That'll about do it.

Personally, I would prefer the Wolves to many of the people I have met. I feel the same way about Prairie dogs.
How ever, I do not have livestock being munched or crippled, would most likely reverse my opinion.
So I do not shoot varmints myself, but do not condemn those who do.

I'm kinda with Tom on this, but again I don't have livestock.
I like wolves.  I kinda look like one.

That's all well and good except it's the STATE that pays the bill. Not the feds. That's most of the gripe. Kinda like Obamacare. It's forcing the state to pay for something that the people never wanted in the first place. Even if you catch a wolf killing your livestock, you still aren't allowed to shoot them. On a side note, did you know that wolves kill for sport?

Just to drift some more. We are battling the enviro-tards over Prairie Dogs now. They want to list the damn things because it's the main diet of the Black-Footed Feret.

Those make great pets I hear. Maybe they should take some home to cuddle with the kids.

We call them prairie maggots, or speed bumps, depending on whether or not you are driving.

Silly, small mined minded person!  Your betters will tell you how to do it!

Fixed it for you.  A small mined person would be some sort of troglodyte pulled from a hole.  A small minded person is one of limited insight and/or knowledge.

And Haz, reflect on this truth:  We ARE our betters.  We are, unfortunately, being directed by our inferiors!

Offered by Crusader, as a constructive way to needle a best friend before I go over and drink large quantities of his beer.

ARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!


I victim of spell check!  (was that democratic enough for ya? )

The darn spell check is great if you miss spell a word, but useless if you spell the wrong word correctly  

About JC's post, this goes back to a major grievance the States have against the Feds, the so called "unfunded Mandates", the cost of over seeing the Wolf program is minor compared to the ones involving welfare, highways and other Federal programs the States have been saddled with.
Should be like a restaurant, If you order it, you can darn well pay for it.

Problem with this one is that it's not distributed equally either. All of the money used to manage the wolves is born by sportsman. Through higher license, and access fees. Not mention higher taxes on equipment. i.e. Guns, and Ammo! It also takes away from other management efforts by taking away from funds that would normally go there.

Not to be intended as an argument, just clarification.
