Perhaps you could cure your seemingly irrational hysteria concerning this matter by spearheading a project to repopulate wolves in your area. They roamed most of north America only a few hundred years ago.
I would in a heartbeat, as I would trust a wolf before most humans anymore..
I hunt and kill coyotes: canis lupis vs. canis latrans, one's bigger and one's smaller. There's a reason the wolves were exterminated from the lower 48 states: they're KILLERS of livestock and people.
Would you care to show us some stats to back up this claim.. As most attacks that are claimed against wolfs, have been done by either Bears or Coyotes. I know of only two on records so far, one here in the States and one that is still in dispute in Canada.
Would you care to show us some stats to back up this claim.
No.
It's common knowledge that wolves had to go as white men pushed Western Civilization west across America, their presence was completely incompatible with people and livestock.

In the past five years, the state has relied on private pilots and gunners to kill wolves in different parts of the state where moose or caribou populations are too low to meet the needs and demands of subsistence and sport hunters. More than 800 wolves have been killed in the past five years as a result of the program.
I said macro evolution does not need a God to occur. And I am correct. But macro evolution is only a fairy tale that has no evidence to support it whatsoever. If macro evolution were proven true then God would be a liar saying he created all things in six days. If God is a liar, then what difference does it make if he exists or not?
I said my faith in God is not irrational, and it isn't. If believing in God required me to be irrational to do so then I couldn't do it. But your faith in macro evolution and man made global warming is irrational.
After reading more of your posts on this thread, I know it is of no value to debate this with you.. you kill for the trill. To which I am wholeheartedly against. In my step-father's family, many were Game Wardens, and all were against the killing of any animal, that was NOT used for meat/skin.
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..
Oh really?.. A Local Garage Owner, has 5 kills so far.. NONE brought back with him.. the fckin asshat..
If you are responding to the quote in italics above, you should send your comments to the person who posted that quote.
There are lots of people who ignore the hunting regulations. You must salvage the hide and have it sealed within 30 days of the kill in most game management units.
You and FormerLurker need to get over yourselves and your feigned sense of outrage over the FUCKING WOLVES. Remember, $12.40 buys a non-resident wolf license in Alberta, Canada; they aren't ate up with the "Save the WOLF!!" bullshit.

You are an anti-hunter who keeps trying to cloak himself in "my family this..." and "responsible hunting only if..." bullshit. Fuck you and fuck FormerLurker, I know what kind of cock-sucking bastards you two really are, you want to ban ALL hunting and you start with the wolves/polar bears/etc. in increments. FUCK YOU!!

The hunting regulations are for the benefit of whom exactly?
Do you really think there are so many hunters that they could if they wanted to make wolves extinct? Are wolves in any way whatsoever in any danger of going extinct? If not then the regulations are just a way for the state to get more money out of people through fines. Do you like the idea of someone telling you that you cannot do something on your own property that is hurting no one else? And how are the enforcement of these regulations suppose to occur? Cameras set everywhere to watch your every move, or are they just going to rely on people turning their neighbors in?

I stand 110% against such hunting..
You stand against mercy killings of animals so they won't starve to death. Well, I stand 100% against such cruel behavior to animals. No animal should have to starve to death when a bullet can end their suffering instantly. Animals are not people and do not have the same protection as humans do to life. We are commanded by God to kill and eat animals. They are for us, not us for them.
The hunting regulations are for the benefit of whom exactly?
The wildlife of Alaska and the people of Alaska who depend on a robust wildlife population.
Do you really think there are so many hunters that they could if they wanted to make wolves extinct?
NO.
Are wolves in any way whatsoever in any danger of going extinct?
No.
If not then the regulations are just a way for the state to get more money out of people through fines. Do you like the idea of someone telling you that you cannot do something on your own property that is hurting no one else?
I do not hunt wolves on my own property.
And how are the enforcement of these regulations suppose to occur?
In the usual manner. People are reported breaking the law, people are confronted by enforcers for breaking the law.
Cameras set everywhere to watch your every move, or are they just going to rely on people turning their neighbors in?
Haven't run into a single camera out in the bush and my neighbors have never accused anyone falsely.
There is nothing scientific about the theory of Evolution. Its all made up. Someone imagined it. On the other hand if the Bible is true you would expect to find some archelogical evidence pertaining to certain events found in the Bible. Take the flood for example. If that is true as the Bible says it is. Then you would expect to see some evidence of that event since it was supposed to be global. You would expect to find billions of dead things buried in mud laid down by water all over the earth. That is what you find in the fossil record.
The fossil record supports the creation model. In the fossil record there are no intermediary species as would be required for evolution to be true. As far as their dating method. It is flawed circular reasoning, but you know that. The Bible is true the flood happened. Real scientists usually know this.
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.)

FL has earned the second spot on my bozo filter (The obnoxious atheist drone 'nobody' has #1 permanently locked up). The sheer volume of garbage put forth is justification enough; these goofy attacks are further justification.
Oh boo fucking hoo, you don't like to hear the truth so you block your ears.
You're a typical example of what is wrong with people today, and the sort of person responsible for the mess this country is in. Hear no evil, see no evil, but you certainly have no problem SPEAKING evil on the other hand...
I didn't like you when I first saw you here, but thought you were a better person than I had originally thought so I decided to consider you an ally over time.
My first impression was spot on.

I said macro evolution does not need a God to occur. And I am correct.
No you are not. God could very well work through any process God chooses, and just because YOU think he can't doesn't make it so.
If macro evolution were proven true then God would be a liar saying he created all things in six days.
God didn't say that, MEN did. That you think God sat down and wrote a book illustrates how childish you are.

But you don't understand them. You just accept them because some guy in a white jacket with a lable of "scientist" said so. That makes you a willing ignorant follower.
What part of unverifiable don't you understand. It is not science if it cannot be verified. Sheesh you think yourself smart but you are making a fool of yourself.
You and FormerLurker need to get over yourselves and your feigned sense of outrage over the FUCKING WOLVES.
YOU need to get over your belief that YOU have the right to kill anything that moves, just because it gives you a cheap fucking thrill.

They can easily go extinct. How many wild Buffalo are left in the US these days???

Wrong Ricky. You are feeling JUSTIFIED in killing animals by MEN who TRANSLATED ancient writings into what they FELT like writing, to give them JUSTIFICATION for what they had already decided they were going to do...
In Hebrew, the English phrase "dominion over animals" means "guardianship, or stewardship" over them, and does not give a green light to exploitation and slaughter.
You are the product of TV evangelism, and a very fine example of such.

So since the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh mentions the same flood, then the Sumerian writings must all be true as well, right?

While Kempthorne heads the Dept. of Interior, the U.S. Dept. of Agricultures (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 Yellowstones 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?
Well didn't you just say that since the Bible mentions the flood, it HAS to ALL be true?
I'm just using your own logic here. Correct me if I'm wrong, but by using YOUR logic, since the Epic of Gilgamesh mentions the flood, it ALSO HAS to ALL be true.

There is nothing logical about you. The Bible is Gods word. History books are not. I would type it slower for you but you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
Says who? I'll tell you who, it is MEN that say that, not GOD.
There is nothing logical about you.
You are so dense it's pathetic, where you can't even respond to your OWN logic in a sensible way, you decide to attack me personally instead.
You are a nutjob bud.
