Really? Introduce MORE wolves?
Gary,
On the "dog"/"wolf" issue, wolves really don't like other canines in their area, dogs, coyotes or even other wolves. If you "google" I think you might be able to find some pretty dramatic pictures of what was left of some very valuable hounds that got a bit out front of their owner while on a cat hunt in Idaho. Not for the squeemish. Although a cougar may snatch a dog from a porch once in a while. Wolves will hunt down and kill any dog they come across in the wild.

Thank you for your post. It started a tumble of memories. The lodge at which I used to stay for many years in Ontario (Nipissing District)had an old Gordon setter, a very friendly dog that I, of course, very much liked. I came up one Spring for a bear hunt (legal then in Ontario) and he was missing. Wolves had lured him out on to the ice and eaten him. At the time there was a bounty on wolves in the area -and the locals were somewhat irritated at my refusal to shoot wolves up to then. I admit that I was shaken and, for the first time,came to understand that wolves are truly predators. (guess it's all a case, as the Good Book says - whose ox is being gored) I am totally conflicted about wolves. I want them around -and I don't want them to kill.

My read on more wolves,,wolves will expand range ,eat all the game,,no more to hunt,,no more hunting.No hunting,,no need for guns,,remember,the 2nd is about hunting........they think.Now that the game is gone,the wolves die off,and it is safe for thier cockapoos,,cats,,llamas and our other useless animals,,and since there are no more endagered animals whose habitat must be protected,,the elites buy up the pretty country,,build multi milllion $$$ CHALETS,,raise the property values/taxes,,and zone ""regular people "" out of sight,,because we;the great unwashed,,of course can't appreciate beauty,,,,,and so on......................

I don't think gophers are endangered.

There are too many people on this earth.

Wolves don't need to be "introduced". They were already there.

without a strong Federal Government this nation would not be even close to what it is today. (one of the very first cases to address the issue of Federal Supremecy, and an interesting read, is McCullock v. Maryland, 17 U.S. (4 Wheat.) 316 (1819))

I am for conservation in the best manner that it can be practiced. I recognize that wolves cause problems. I recognize that some wolves may need to be removed or even killed. But too many folks would have them eradicated indiscriminately.

Wolves' meal ticket is killing.
The animals wolves kill are domestic and wildlife, animals of value.
Wolves bring nothing else to the habitat but death and destruction. Often, wolves kill for the sake of killing, and don't eat the dead animals they kill.
I think that sums up the negative value of wolves. There is no positive value of wolves.
