Good for Idaho. Power to the people, to defend their property!
Yes, god bless all of those god fearing people for the right of self defense. I only wish that wolves had guns and knew how to shoot them to make it even more fun. May god's grace be upon them.
Remember Bungalow Bill says, "It could have been us instead of them".
god bless our glorious war generals and our glorious wars of liberty and democratic nation building and religious freedom.

If you owned a cattle farm and wolves were killing your stock, would you just sit there and let them because Gaia is such a pretty creature and all her animals are sacred? What if it were snakes or rats? Where does your "compassion" end?
Question: if 100% of the wolves in those areas disappeared tomorrow, would there be any negative consequences to the ecosystem and what specifically would they be. (e.g. overpopulation of rabbits, badgers, and foxes)

Think more like large game, mainly elk. Coyotes and foxes will eat the rabbits. I don't know what badgers eat but they are mean as hell too.
If frogs had wings they would not bump their asses when they landed. The wolves were there before the cows and the ranchers.
American natives, who they slaughtered and stole their land, were there before the great american pioneers. Who is right? Are Americans special?
Clearly there's no middle ground between "SLAUGHTER EVERYTHING" and "I know the wolf is eating my cows but I'm just gonna stand here because it's so pretty." I'm so glad you pointed out how ridiculous that opinion nobody holds is.

Nothing about this answered my question, but okay!
What led you to believe that I don't see a middle ground? I think that the best solution is for farmers to be allowed to hunt a limited number of wolves that would protect their livestock while ensuring the survival of the species. I made that statement because based on the OP, I believe that people like LA truly do hold that ridiculous position that I mentioned.

Can you show that the wolves are posing a serious threat to livestock?If you owned a cattle farm and wolves were killing your stock, would you just sit there and let them because Gaia is such a pretty creature and all her animals are sacred?

Yeah badgers are mean but they don't throw their babies into dumpsters like some people do or rape children for that matter.
It's not nice to **** with mother nature. It's my belief because I am a Druid.
So, specifically what is the downside? More elk?
How come you keep avoiding my questions?
What am I, on the pay-no-mind list over here?

I'm sorry repeata the question please. I lost track. So many people are picking on me for defending the underdogs that it is hard to keep a breast.
I dont know, but I want to see proof that wolves are actually causing serious harm to the population of livestock in the US.Why do you think the farmers want to hunt them?

For a long time Jim Heintz, an octogenarian farmer in Bruce, Wis., gave little thought to the wolves reoccupying his state. Then his calves started disappearing. "We didn't realize what was happening," he recalls. "Then we started hearing all these wolves. People starting seeing wolves." That was five or six years ago. He has since seen plenty of wolves himself, including one he watched last year try to drag a dead calf from his back pasture. He estimates he's lost 20 calves to wolves over the past decade.

The gray wolf has made an astonishing comeback in the upper Midwest. Once extirpated from all but a remote corner of northern Minnesota, wolves have flourished under the protection of the Endangered Species Act. They have expanded across half of Minnesota, a third of Wisconsin, and all of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Today the number of wolves in the western Great Lakes region exceeds 4,000. That's probably too many, say wildlife biologists and much of the public. Increasingly, wolves are killing livestock, attacking dogs, and inspiring fear and hostility.
