You, obviously, are not living out in the rural parts of America, where the 're-wilding' is taking place, and the wolves, coyotes, and feral hogs are over-running the farm and ranch-land here.
Do your 'hood, and our country, a favor - kill a predator today (and tomorrow, and the next day.)

If you live out in the wilderness, then you should be prepared to deal with the creatures that inhabit that area when necessary, but to think that you can fucking kill everything there because YOU want to live there is about the same mentality that Israel is using today in Gaza.
Any aerial thinning of wolf packs is handled by Fish and Game and only when necessary.
I don't believe wholesale slaughter to be necessary or morally acceptable. I think if a rancher or farmer has a problem with wolves, they need to get some attack dogs that will guard their stock, and fire upon the wolves when warned by their dogs.
Although you have to wonder about the wisdom of keeping livestock in a wilderness area teaming with wolves in the first place. Perhaps that's what Darwin meant by "survival of the fittest". I don't think he had helicopter gunships attacking wildlife in mind however...

What about RAID on wasp nests? Or foggers to kill bugs? What about mowing the grass. I noticed sometimes I kill crickets and grasshoppers. Once even got a baby rabbit.
