So you don't want to address the real cause of the problem, you just want an excuse/justification to kill wolves.
It was not wolves that built roads into the wilderness, or deforested the wildlife habitat with mining and logging.
The video explained very clearly why predator control was important if the balance between wolves and ungulates was to be maintained. It explained the causes and reason for the unbalance with unchecked predator population in non wilderness areas. How would you obtain a balance between the wolf, ungulate population and ranching community?? I actually like wolves, Grizzly bears and mountain lions, but I also understand they have to be managed. The woods in Montana would not be the same without them. I also like moose, elk, deer, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, and other woodland animals. What would your solution or ideas be Stan?? People also need wood products, minerals and beef. If predator control is not the answer, please enlighten me on better management ideas.
