[QUOTE="Joe King, post: 730242, member: 47325"] No I don't, more wolves means more predation on wildlife numbers means, which translates into prey species being depleted leading to wolf numbers depleting due to starvation and disease, not to mention the packs that will spread out and go after what ever meal they can get, livestock pets ect. Their going to do what they have to to survive, even if it means hanging around the edge of town and going after fido or kitty. It's not a new concept, it has been going on for decades with cats. I can't say what your experience with your local FWP is like but the FWP folks I know personally take as dim or even dimmer view on this as we do. From the biologist to the game wardens their also ecologists, they get carrying capacity and just what a can of worms this could very easily turn into. They don't like seeing game numbers take beating any more than you and I do, they also don't want to see them explode either since that ultimately means a very big rapid depletion of numbers. Make no mistake things like this make their job far harder than it has to be, who wants that? Ask yourself. Where does the fish and game get their funding from? How much of the money generated from license sales goes to game management programs? A lot of their funding comes from license sales, why do you think every few years the fee's go up and occasionally there's a new fee added? It ain't from cigarette taxes. Federal fish and wildlife on the other hand I just don't know, I imagine their under a lot more political pressure from Washington. [/QUOTE]
