reason being is there are so many people out there looking to make a quick dollar that they will hunt these animals down and they will not be killed humanely.
I know Wolves can be considered vermin in some countries, but culling needs to be done professionally....
JMO.....
I dont think I could ever kill a cub
When they cull the roos (Kangaroos) here, thats what they do, or at least get the professionals in, that way it is done quickly and humanely.
Fax the poor cubs
Where's the money, everything is business.
But this is not the whole truth.
And people are dying and their children.
Wolves.
Wolves is very scary.
But i still believe that all animals, wild or not, dangerous or not, if they need to be culled, it should be done by professionals and done humanely...
again just my opinion.....
I know Zman.
Just clutchin at straws
A sad story.
How many do you want
Pelt bounty $660 per adult wolf pelt and $50 for the skin of a cub.
Ah, yes, I remember reading about it on TR-news ... I think I even left a comment on that article
Instead of killing them, feed them
I Dont Know but Im sure you could find some Info on that, and post it. Would be interested to know.
Boban Your guess is as good as mine on that.
sorry i meant Rabbit
You know me non, I'd rather see any pack numbers dwindle for natural reasons then hear of mass culls.
The number of wolves depends on their ability to live and breed, a female can only breed once annually and usually not until they reach the age of 4 yrs, some can breed earlier but the tendency is later.
Permitted 'poachers' will probably be quite indiscriminate and sadly it won't take too long to obliterate yet another native species for the gain of what could be human food stored in some over stuffed warehouse where it will perish because we as humans have a tendency to hoard just in case .... and breath ...
"gain of what could be human food stored in some over stuffed warehouse where it will perish "
I don't get out much,
and yes I agree that a cull could and should be made to thin their numbers.
Very sad Business.
I dont watch much news and would love to see a blog or poll on the issue all the same.
how did the problem reach this level in the first place.
My worry here is how will they actually know when they have reached their maximum kill.
When you start putting a price on an animal's pelt ,the humans become the wolf.
Living with wolves.
thanks for the Input and video.
Sorry just trying to lighten it up.
Still cant get my head around how any government will allow anyone to go on a shooting spree with possibility of shooting not only innocent animals, but maybe other hunters as well.
Oh yeah, some experts keep telling us they are harmless.
it seems as if i am against the culling of Wolves.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
It's just the way it is done, inhumanely.
There should be other ways than just letting anyone with a gun go shooting, imagine the uproar if a child or an innocent adult were shot.
It has happened here, thats why the government now only employ professionals or get the military to do it.
I personally hate the Idea. Im just venting the story because its on my mind.
