I'm not even going to post the article...one of hundreds I found castigating the people who are slaughtering for the love of the kill. People can do the research on their own.
Yeah I'm an old John Denver lover and animal/tree hugger from way back. The case and reasons against this slaughter have been made quite well by scientists, native american activists and many others, so I won't get involved in the debate or unwarranted personal attacks. I will, however, weigh in with my opinion. This goes against every fiber of my moral beliefs (not desert religions..they all love the excuse to needlessly kill whenever they get the chance.)
While Kempthorne heads the Dept. of Interior, the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture’s (USDA) National Research Center has current reports that wolves have restored much balance in the wild, keeping coyote populations down. Another 3-year study radio collared wolves in packs whose habitats surrounded the perimeter of cattle ranches. The wolves constantly crossed through cattle herds at night. In 3 years, wolves killed only 8 cattle. The National Geographic Channel aired a segment about Yellowstone’s wolves being a great success for the environment there. Why the rush to kill wolves after allowing them to flourish, especially if they are maintaining a balance among other predators?
