Idaho wants to kill 90% of wolves so we can eat a ribeye and lamb chops. Grr.

Wolves are terrible. Hate ‘em

Alternate opinion: wolves are awesome, and I hope this bill fails.

There is only one kind of wolf I like

And ribeyes are tasty. Love 'em.

Good, non native species should have their population controlled

This statement seems ironic

True, but there needs to be a balance and right now there isn’t

Yeah this species of wolf isn’t native to the area and why they have exploded
USMCdad
4/29/21 11:32am
Same species, different subspecies that overlapped with the previous wolf.
ReyOso
4/29/21 11:39am
Some argue they have killed off the native wolfs
USMCdad
4/29/21 11:42am
More likely that the population explosion is due to an abundance of east prey

Which species of wolf is native and are you saying that a native species would

Yeah they didn’t think so either when they went with the Canadian ones

Fair enough, thanks for sharing.

Exactly, it does make you want to research before you just react

Maybe, but these aren’t the same wolf for that area as the original
USMCdad

Before all of you judge....
Spocougar

It’s because he’s right, these aren’t the same native species
USMCdad
4/29/21 11:35am
Wait! Shouldn’t we just read the headline and conclude sinister motives?

There is a big difference between controlled (via biologists) and legal quotas.

I like my rib-eye without Wolf teeth marks please...and medium rare too!

But it comes pre-tenderized with the wolf bites.

now i must reconsider!

And you choose to kill off 100% of the critters
Sheepfarm
4/29/21 11:18am
So because some elimination of native wildlife is unavoidable for human life, we should support all elimination
CDV
4/29/21 11:21am
I don't think the bill said 100% and
Sheepfarm
4/29/21 11:27am
I understand, but wolves are native to Idaho, right?
CDV
4/29/21 11:41am
See the posts above, I don't know how to link them here
Sheepfarm
4/29/21 11:52am
No. DUH!
Snipe
4/29/21 11:28am
Right. That is exactly what it seemed that Sheepfarm was doing and I was pointing out.

Board name seems incredibly wrong....

Sure. Let's start with prairie dogs.

I hear they are decimating the elk population.

I've got to wonder what the impact will be on other animal populations if you eliminate nearly all wolves

C'mon man, trophic cascade has been debunked. And an outdoorsman like yourself

From reading the article, there are significantly more wolves right now than are
Corn Pop
4/29/21 11:29am
Wolves will bounce back, they have no predators besides man in that region
USMCdad
4/29/21 11:29am
Doesn't nature self-regulate that? If they've grown to populous, and prey populations are decimated, then predators die
KingDave
4/29/21 11:35am
It would regulate like you said, but we are basically feeding the wolves (by raising cattle and sheep where the wolves
dilbert

Makes sense
KingDave
4/29/21 11:58am
It does with native species. These aren’t native to this region
USMCdad
4/29/21 11:40am
OK, you guys convinced me. Let's kill them all.
KingDave
4/29/21 11:59am
There are way more wolves than the ecosystem supports naturally (without livestock to eat)
YIsForBrigham
4/29/21 11:32am
Maybe there will actually be elk and deer again

Passing this bill is a good way to lose management control again.

The middle ground is killing more of them
YIsForBrigham
4/29/21 11:33am
They literally sell an unlimited number of hunting/trapping tags for them now.
godawgs

Exactly.

I’m totally against this. Mostly because I don’t live in Idaho and it has
Zaphod

This actually makes a great point. Most wolf supporters are special interest

I'm totally for it. Mostly because I also don't live in Idaho

Interestingly, the Feds transported these wolves onto fed land and bred them.
Super Chicken
4/29/21 11:28am
90% isn’t enough. Cull them all.

So is everyone else. That's why we pay them for every animal killed by wolves.

One thing I'm certain about. People who don't live in Idaho know much better how to manage Idaho's wolf population than
SierraCoug
4/29/21 12:01pm
Yep, these comments are telling of how little people know about land management.
stenso

Everyone that was for the wolf reintroduction were the people who didn't live
UNLVcougar

Yes. Urban environmentalists vs rural ranchers. Also Fed gov vs local gov.
Super Chicken
