[QUOTE="MtPockets, post: 1567020, member: 39651"] MON, I have never been for the annihilation of any species. I've always felt that there are places for every body and every thing. Besides, how could I hunt wolves if we wipe them all out? That attitude is waning, however. My problem is that they are not, and never have been managed properly. It seems like the people who expect to just take a leisurely drive through Wyoming and see wolves have more of a say than those who live there and have to deal with the wolves on a daily basis. When they "reintroduced" wolves to YNP, it was agreed that in order to be delisted there needed to be 10 breeding pairs in 2 "recovery zones". Then it was changed to 30 pairs. By 2005, there was an estimated wolf population in the Northern Rockies of [B]1000[/B], yet because of court battles pursued by animal rights activist organizations they weren't actually delisted until 2011! I understand that there were places that the elk population was too high. Some of those same areas now have a population of near zero, yet the Mt FWP STILL only allows 2 wolves to be taken. At that rate, they are not even CLOSE to keeping up with pup production! Anyway, I digress. You say you want them managed based on science. Can you explain exactly what you think they should do? Do you think they have been managed well? [/QUOTE]
