Wow!!! this posts seems to be as crazy as some of the posts about the gun registry and who should, I have, why do you need etc. BC Government.....ALL in the name of the Guiding lobby....for sport/trophy hunting....( not saying anything negative about Guides or their profession..have worked with, and along side many)...they like ranchers, are just protecting their "investment". Wasn't, nor did I say anything about "the noble" wolf as you say...I was just giving my opinion...based on my observations. If anyone is misguided it may be you..... Have a good day!
Why people hate wolves.

I think this video is well worth watching made by a trapper and hunting Guide Paul Trepus

Good article. Rarely happens, but it does.
I've heard of wolves gorging on newborn caribou brains and not bothering with the rest of the calf, because there are so many born at the same time. Wolves (and bears) do the same with salmon out west. Ripping the skin and head off fish (the fattiest parts). Wolves are part of the natural ecosystems of North America, they aren't destructive foreign species nor are they domesticated predators like cats who pose an actual threat to natural wildlife. Sure, they make farming a pain, but it's hardly the wolves fault humans have taken over this continent with cattle to sustain their livelihood.

And I'd hunt them, not because I want them dead really, my dad's a taxidermist, and a wolf rug is actually a nice thing to own.
Mowat wouldn't have survived a week in the wild. Nevermind keep up to a pack of wolves for a year. Well, maybe, if he observed them in a zoo. Then I could see where he gets his conclusion.

150%^^^^^^^^
I know wen I see them I'm to happy and excited and forget I have a rifle it's not every day you run into a wolf well hunting
What can I say I like Wolfs maybe next time I'll remember I'm hunting and bag one lol
As Farley Mowat stated himself in his later years he never let facts get in the way of a good story and never cry wolf fits that bill perfectly. Growing up on a farm in northern Ontario in the 60's and 70's we had to deal with wolves from time to time. Trapping was the best way, during daylight they were rarely seen. But once it realized taking a calf was much easier than hunting wild prey the wolf would become habituated and the only way to deal with a habituated predator is to kill it!

According to this, non resident hunters bring in about $120 million yearly to the economy, while total revenue from both resident and non resident hunters is $350 million. So resident hunters contribute almost twice the amount as non residents. In addition, there is only about 2000 guides in BC, which from a votes perspective is a tiny number. So if you think the cull is all about making the guides happy, i think you've got some research to do.
OOPS, it isn't the numbers on a voting list that gets things from government, it is the money they contribute to their cause that turns the wheels!
And the Guides and Outfitters Association of BC are very good contributers, thus powerful lobbiests

If the BC Government would start making people that have trap lines actually work on ther trapline instead of people buying them for recreational property would make a big difference
BC and Alberta have quite a few people with trap lines how have no intentions on trapping and to make thing worse there driving up the cost of buying a trap line up
Wen prices are really low like last year a subsidy as well as training would also encourage trapping
Trapping is the only practical solution

I disagree... differences in opinion on CGN usually lead to a childish pile up most of the time. True you sound civil and heck I'm not even sure I know enough to agree or disagree with the op... but it kills me to always see a flame show with any different opinion.
Ive been a member on many forums of hobbies I've had... none is like CGN... I guess it's the politics that goes along with firearms ownership... anyway....
