Wolf Hunt


Alaska allows this brutal practice of killing wolves and in a recent move of Bushness, the Federal government took wolves off the endangered species list just recently. This will put the species in great risk in all states as some governors have publicly said they will not stop until the wolf is eradicated. It is hard to argue with that kind of unreason.

One must pause and give these people the benefit of the doubt I guess since a good portion of people wouldn't be able to tell you what DNA is I guess it would be a leap to expect them to understand the concept of an ecosystem. Wolves strengthen the herd, by killing the sick and weak.

Hunters tend to complain when hunting actually involves hunting and the animals don't just walk up to them with a "shoot me" sign posted around their necks. The fact is global warming in many parts of the US especially around Yellowstone has led to poor grass conditions and thus a poor food source for Elk. Rather than acknowledge this however many hunters who don't want to feel guilty about driving a hummer blame Hollywoods biggest villian the wolf instead.
