Sorry Col, but if children were killed in your community it musta been a looooooong long LONG time ago. Like more than 100 years. The last human killed by a wolf in the US and/or Canada was in Alaska in 2010—it was a woman jogging— and they cannot prove that it was actually wolves that killed her (yes, they did apparently feed on her body at some point, but may have been a bear that killed her). In 2005 a man in Saskatchewan died but they couldn’t tell for sure that wolves had killed him either. In 1996, a woman in Ontario was killed by CAPTIVE wolves (she was a caretaker). Between 1978 and 1989, 3 children were killed by wolves in the US… in all 3 incidents, they were attacked by someone’s PET wolf. In 1922, three people in Ontario were reportedly killed by wolves in a single incident and another man killed by wolves (but not before he had successfully killed 11 of them first). Iowa- 1910- one man killed by a pack of wild wolves (reportedly). So if you are saying wolves killed kids in your community, I sure hope you have something to back your claim. Wolves simply do not attack humans with any sort of regularity. If or when wolves attack humans, it often involves them being rabid or otherwise diseased. The “because they attack humans” excuse for killing wolves is bunk. Know your facts before you go out killing animals or before defending their slaughter. Wolves play an invaluable role in ecosystem balance. It is simply destructive to kill these animals.

hunters arnt paying 12 buck to hunt them they are paying 186 dollars the money that goes from that gose into the salary of the people trying to repopulate the wolfs and it is kinda easy to say that we are killers when wolfs kill our cows and sheep that we raise to sell to feed our familys when it makes it so that our kids cant go out side to play because there are wolf around and they have killed children in our comunity they should be repopulated but be controlled

ok ok…we need to keep the population down, they are killing too many moose or whatever. What I don’t understand is why there is no limit to human reproduction…I mean aren’t we like using up all the water and causing this global warming stuff…I heard that’s pretty harmful…also i’ve seen that many hunters are smokers…that’s pretty funny: killing wolves and killing themselves at the same time. Didn’t China do something like that…babies in the garbage n stuff. I would love to see how much people cared about hunting if that ever happened here.

what is wrong with you liberals wolves have no predators they need to be hunted. whats wrong with that, if you love animals so much think about how to many wolves will destroy the balance of oregons deer and elk heards.

this is obscene.
Who decided there should be 170 wolves in Idaho?
If that is some arbitrary number decidd so humans can hunt anythign – elk, deer, mountain lion, wolf, coyote, snake, human, dog, cat, pigeon, eagle…..
Shouldn’t the human population be regulated to 170, too?
Fair’s fair. The wolves were there first.
