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.

ReyOso

There is only one kind of wolf I like

TADOW

4/29/21 11:27am

And ribeyes are tasty. Love 'em.

Good, non native species should have their population controlled

USMCdad

4/29/21 11:16am

This statement seems ironic

Indy Coug

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

RE: Good, non native species should have their population controlled

ReyOso

4/29/21 11:18am

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

cougarstrong

4/29/21 12:34pm

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

SnickSnack

4/29/21 1:02pm

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

USMCdad

4/29/21 1:14pm

Fair enough, thanks for sharing.

SnickSnack

Hmmm...

Laura Palmer

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

Clown comment

letthewookieewin

4/29/21 11:21am

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

USMCdad

4/29/21 11:33am

Before all of you judge....

Spocougar

4/29/21 11:32am

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?

Super Chicken

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!

outback747

4/29/21 11:17am

But it comes pre-tenderized with the wolf bites.

stenso

4/29/21 1:04pm

now i must reconsider!

outback747

4/29/21 2:02pm

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.

CDV

4/29/21 11:40am

Board name seems incredibly wrong....

StarMan

4/29/21 11:25am

Sure. Let's start with prairie dogs.

I hear they are decimating the elk population.

Ojiisan

4/29/21 11:20am

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

Penske Material

4/29/21 12:12pm

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

4/29/21 11:40am

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

jaromp

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

letthewookieewin

4/29/21 11:26am

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

4/29/21 3:04pm

Exactly.

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

Zaphod

4/29/21 11:26am

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

The Chief

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.

Zedhead

4/29/21 11:29am

I had heard from a local that species that was "introduced" was not what was

I'm on team farmer/rancher.

RockyBalboa

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

godawgs

4/29/21 3:05pm

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

4/29/21 1:08pm

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

UNLVcougar

4/29/21 12:04pm

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

Super Chicken

I’m from Idaho. I’ve always wondered why they aren’t reintroducing sharks near
