So I was stopped at a road construction point for about 15 minutes and the woman holding the stop sign had a shirt with a 'I love Wolves' on it with a picture of a wolf...so I of course ask her 'if she had ever seen a wolf?...and when she admitted she hadn't but she just 'loved wolves' and would 'give anything to see a wolf' ...I told her she should have been with us up on the Yukon border where we were moose hunting on the river( she said she didn't agree with killing innocent animals for 'sport' and wolves didn't kill for fun, they ' only killed to survive' ) so I told her how we came across a wolf pack that had just killed a calf and hamstrung the cow which was bleeding and bellowing in agony for 3 days while the pack ate the calf and slept it off until they finished off the cow...she of course reacted with horror and said 'you hunters are just cruel' and demanded ''why didn't you put the cow out of it's misery?' I told her 'we couldn't ,it was against the law' we could only kill a bull...and besides,she just told us she ' didn't agree with 'killing '

I then told her the wolves weren't doing anything wrong it's just how nature is and I was trying to get the government to introduce a pack of wolves into Oak Bay to take care of the deer problem,and they would take care of the rabbits as well for a whole lot cheaper than the $20,000 we spent trapping, inoculating and neutering them.... but maybe it might be a good idea to keep her cats in and only walk her dog on a leash..that would be the 'natural' solution,wouldn't it?



well, I wish I hadn't read that! Law or no law, I couldn't have watched and listened to it suffer for 3 days! I'm pretty sure in a case such as that, any lawman wouldn't lay any charges!

What happened was not 'cruel' nor did the wolves do anything wrong.Nor am I so naive as to believe such scenarios aren't played out daily in nature and the only diference in this case is we saw it.Human sentiment shouldn't play a part by intervening . Preditors don't distinquish between females with young or not that might result in the young starving to death,they are opportunistic killers.

The big problem is naive people far removed from the natural ecosystem with unrealistic notions about preditors or hunting who impose their simplistic politically correct views on everybody else.100 years ago they hated wolves and wanted to totally exterminate them ,now they 'love' them and want to 'save' them...both were wrong
 
So this poor woman who has the crapiest job in the world and cooking in the heat probably has hungry children at home deserves harassment for wearing a T-shirt that says I love Wolf's

Im indifferent towards them. They have to eat, I accept they kill a certain amount of other animals and that its horrific when they do (to the animal being killed). I hunt wolves, but I also admire their beauty. I think its cool to see them in non hunting situations, and a camping trip is so much better when the wolves are howling in evening

Basically my thoughts. I don't care for them around me at night while I am walking out of the woods from my tree stand, but I enjoy their vocalizations. She would likely have a different opinion under those cirumstances.

As said before "You may love the wolf but the wolf doesn't love you." Kind of sums it up eh?
 
I find it exciting wen I'm Lucky enough to see a wolf's in the wild so I love wolf's too
Most encounters I'm so happy I forget I have a rifle and wind up just sitting there for a moment just happy that I seen them

I was up north working with helicopters up by Telegraph Creek for a week wolfs cornered a big bull moose in a river thay Chase the bull in it the River and waited for river to freeze over and the moose died of hypothermia and exhaustion
I tell you everyone's nose was Press up against the window watching we couldn't wait to fly over each day to see how the wolves and the moose were making out
I think about day 8 as we flew over the same spot no wolf's and moose all we could see a big patch of red look like a bomb went off spraying red everywhere nature is pretty awesome

OP, next time you can also tell them that wolves are also sport killers and do not necessarily eat everything they kill. I have seen myself, 6 moose carcasses in a single valley, all killed by the same pack of wolves with less than 10% of each carcass consumed by the pack. They killed one young bull at night on one end of the airstrip and then a cow the next morning on the other end of the same strip, neither was eaten in the week I was in there, they were killed gutted and from what we could tell just a few organs were consumed. It would appear in areas of high game population densities they are just wanton killers, and kill for the sheer joy of it..........The miner in that valley said he had seen two carcasses that they had killed and hadn't even eaten the organs, just killed and left. Unlike some on here I kill every wolf I can get crosshairs on, and smile every time I connect. I don't believe every wolf should be eliminated but their populations certainly need managing and we as hunters need to be active towards this end. By their very nature, and being as secretive as they are I doubt we could ever totally eliminate them even if this was our goal, but by shooting every one I get the opportunity to I feel I'm doing my little part.
 
I would think that if you had put a suffering animal out if it's misery everything would have been fine.
Not sure I could watch an animal in distress for that length of time and not do something about it.

thumbs up!
 
I would have told her that I had an uncle who was an animal lover as well.

For him it was mostly farm animals

He was arrested several times and ended up getting all his animals taken away from him.

She could be thankful that we live in a more enlightened age

it's not up to you to interpret law while being emotional.
atrocious things do happen in the wild.

However, it is up to us to use our head.
A robot would let the animal suffer, saying to himself, "Man has no right to interfere with nature."
A person using common sense would quickly kill the moose.
