I support it completely. 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.) Happy hunting, all.
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.
LOL!
The memory of the Heroic Age was eagerly seized by all who could take power, by fair means or foul, but that age could not be recaptured, and despite the temporary improvements... the racial material on which they had to work was of little value, and their efforts bore no fruit after their own demise.
Get - some common sense. Wolves, bears, cougars, and hogs, are not human beings. Pali's are. Please nb: there is a very real difference between wild animals, and Palestinians.
Wolves is bad. They et babies every chance they git.
Turtle's Law: When the gap between the rich and everyone else becomes great, things happen.
I was raised in the Alaskan "bush." This is an old issue. If wolves are a factual problem to mankind, who cares as to how they are killed. That's not to sanction aircraft in place of a rifle or a trap, relative to "ordinary" hunting and trapping. For one thing, the aircraft accident rate would go through the already sky-high roof, for 'bush' accidents. To do such hunting requires a slow airspeed -add sharp maneuvering - putting an aircraft on top of a stall-spin scenario at too low an altitude, for successful recovery. Often, herds of thousands of caribou manage to slip into the bush, undetected, for six months, or more. So to blame wolves for over-kill of the herds is often poorly justified. In reality, wolves can kill caribou like delta-force on a rampage, but nature has her magical way of reliably balancing the wildlife populations. In the background, the State Fish & Game has historically had near gestapo powers to preclude even the 'ordinary' hunting of any wildlife, add fishing. Arial wolfe hunting was once legal, but has historically been one of the worst offences one can commit. Sarah may be pissing atop a powerful air vent. (Even with her Chutzpah, she can't piss into the wind.)
Ummm..... riiiight. You, uh, feeling OK there Sparky?

So? To kill for food is even beyond what some believe in, but is understandable for a native people living in their native land if there IS no other food. However, to kill for the hell of it because those creatures MIGHT be causing a problem with the "food" animals is beyond sadistic. If there were REAL evidence that predators were killing off a large number of those other animals, then perhaps something might need to be done in order to protect the "food" animals for those who depend on those animals, but to try to play God is beyond pale. Again, disregard for life leads to what IS happening in Gaza. I doubt there would be the bloodshed going on there that we are witnessing today if the Israelis cared about life as much as the Essenes did (and do).

Ingredients 1 1/2 pound turtle meat 2 3/4 teaspoon salt, in all 3/4 teaspoon cayenne, in all 6 cups water 1 stick butter 1/2 cup flour 1 1/2 cup chopped onions 2 tablespoons minced shallots 1/4 cup chopped bell peppers 1/4 cup chopped celery 3 bay leaves 1/2 teaspoon dried leaf thyme 2 tablespoons minced garlic 1 cup chopped tomatoes 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1/2 cup dry sherry 1/4 cup chopped parsley 1/2 cup chopped green onions 4 hard boiled eggs, finely chopped 2 tablespoons chopped green onions 2 tablespoons chopped hard boiled eggs Directions Put the turtle meat in a large saucepan with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne and the water. Bring to a boil. Skim off any foam that rises to the top. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 20 minutes. With a slotted spoon transfer the meat to a platter. Cut the meat into 1/2 inch dice and reserve the liquid. In another large sauce pan, combine the butter and flour over medium heat, stirring constantly for 6 to 8 minutes to make a dark roux. Add the onions, shallots, bell peppers and celery. Stir occasionally and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender. Add the bay leaves, thyme and garlic, cook for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and the turtle meat. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes stirring occasionally. Add the Worcestershire sauce, the remaining salt and cayenne, the turtle stock (about 6 cups) lemon juice, and sherry. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the parsley, green onions, and eggs and simmer for 45 minutes. Garnish with green onions and chopped eggs.

Exactly. Nature has done quite well on her own for millions of years, I don't think she needs nor wants Man's help.

Lord luv ya - as long as you're against the slaughter of the Pali's, I'm with you. Just go do some more research on predator and prey...or move to a farm or ranch. Get out of your city box before speaking about something that you know nothing about.

Do you think the world is flat too? A few more years then 2000. Millions is laughable. The world flat. lol. That is what "scientists used to think. If they had only consulted their Bible and read Isiah they would have known better.

Thanks, I'm not a member of all those, but I've hunted a bit in the past just to learn how to do it if need be. I can't see attacking creatures just because they ALSO need to eat, unless there was a very real danger of them killing off vital food supplies for those who truly need it.

Go read your Bible. Add up all the begats and begats. Go back to the original creation and you have your answer. I haven't counted it up but I know its not millions. Besides if it was millions of years old where are all the bodies?
#24. To: FormerLurker (#12)
I forgot to mention that I've several times unexpectedly walked with wolves in Alaska. (Damned right they scared me!) However, they, like wolverines have no history of attacking humans - the last I knew. I admit that the 'wild' look in their eyes is the epitome of "intimidating." I'm not aware that wolves are immune to rabies, so the cited history is surprising. If you have a pet dog; they are in dire peril. I've never heard of a child being attacked by a wolfe; surprising, as true huskies are famous for such - I know from experience and a lot of luck. But, it's not likely that a child would have the comparable exposure to a wolfe, as they would a pet dog.

I don't know the situation out there. I don't think that just killing the wolves for the fun of it would be right. I think that the local people should make their own decisions. They have first hand knowldege and should decide.

I used to have a dog that was about half wolf. We had to get rid of it because it bit some kid riding by on a bicycle. I liked the dog.

#28. To: Old Friend (#25)
That's the problem here.. this is being done mostly by Out of Stater's, that spend big money, to have the joy of a kill. Most don't even eat the meat nor keep their kill. The last report I got on this issue, was most of the kills, end up dog food.. and that pisses me off to no end.. As that gives Gun Grabbers an in, to use against Hunting and the 2nd Amendment.

Amen. Palin is speaking of self-protection in the AK. And self-protection extends to the native wildlife and the introduced cattle, horses, sheep, goat, etc. that may be there.

I couldn't find the regulation that allows hunters to hunt from an airplane, please find the regulation that permits it:

Maybe they can pass a law that if you are out of State and you want to hunt wolves you have to do it with primative weapons. Like knives and home made bows. Or bare hand wolf wrestling would be fun to watch on pay per view.

The last I was in Alaska, a bear couldn't be legally killed, without its charging an exposed human, or breaking into a home. At one point, in my home town, somebody got tired of being chased inside by a local bear; did a star-cut on the top of a 55 gallon drum, bent the 'teeth' inwards, then baited it with salmon. The bear took nearly four hours to bleed to death, trying to get the barrel off its neck. After that, Fish & Game brought in a live-catch bear trap & started hauling the in-town bears off to remote places. In one case, Fish & Game chartered an amphibious plane (Gruman Goose) to cart a tranquilized bear far away. The tranquilizer started wearing off, en route, & the pilot got so scared that he crashed the plane into the open water, between King Salmon & Kodiak Island. The people got out, but the bear drowned. The pilot was considered for indictment for being party to the death of the bear. A true story! "In Alaska, anything can happen - and it usually does." I don't know the situation out there. I don't think that just killing the wolves for the fun of it would be right. I think that the local people should make their own decisions. They have first hand knowldege and should decide.

Yes and No.. as they pay Farmers, for any Proven Wolf Kill of Livestock.. and to my understanding, that is Final Value, not Auction Value..

And the Wolf is what? Native - unless you've something to the contrary. I'm tired of this stupid thread. If you don't know what needs to be killed, just let the cockroaches fill up your home, and wonder what to do.

I don't worry about cockroaches, as I keep my house clean.. btw.. they have NOTHING to do with this debate.. it is about a manner of killing/hunting that is immoral.. and the stats, are against a valid argument on behalf of this manner..
