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?

Funny how the ' wolf lovers' only seem to live in cities...

Nope,I just like pulling the chain of the Anti hunters, ,vegetarians,and 'animal rights' people..great fun,you ought to try it sometime....chances are these new found politically correct city people have never been challenged nor presented with LOGIC before....this is what happens when people are removed from the basic concept of providing for themselves by growing and producing their own food
 
I also love wolves... and not just on a wall, but in the bush also... they are not "evil," nor are they "valueless"... they are just another cog in the complex Ecosystem... if that cog becomes "unnaturally large... or small" the whole machine works less efficiently. I have hunted and shot wolves... but I also enjoy seeing and hearing them in the wild... just maybe not while moose hunting...
 
My thing is this, the anti hunters and so called animal rights people are not shy of shouting THEIR politically correct views from the house tops and I am not going to quietly let them have all their way....all I am doing is challenging them to THINK not just parrot the latest flavour of the week...I also am not proposing all preditors be removed,but whereas species is threatened,and the Vancouver island marmots were, then in order to not just let them become extinct,the preditor prey relationship has to be kept in balance
 
For anti-hunters they are mouthing a mantra that they are just repeating - just like religion. You can point out all the inconsistencies and respond with facts and they just believe emotionally that it is wrong. I am fine with them having an emotional disagreement but that is just one factor in the equation. I have emotional reactions to things all the time but I don't force others to agree with me.
 
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
 
The 'animal rights' movement IS a religeon and they preach their politically correct doctrine with hell fire and brimstone fervour daring anyone to disagree with them....
 
Fanaticism in any form is impossible to counter with logic. It is more productive to ensure our rights are not eroded through legislation. That is why it is necessary to support organizations like BCWF, they take the time and have the expertise to make sure these fanatics do not have their way. The spring bear hunt cancellation in Ontario is a case in point. It caused untold economic hardship in NO and the bear population started causing problems everywhere in the area. It has now been reinstated, if I understand correctly, because the science was implacable. Instead of employing people to manage the bear problem ( i.e. CO's running around trying to catch up to problem bears) there are people willing to pay to hunt these bears. The logic is beyond reproach, it is not relevant to these fanatics and never will be. I was briefly interested in the Green Party as an alternative to the collection of less than stellar individuals who we have to choose from at this time. Out to lunch is the only way to describe their proposed mandate. Large green spaces that will mange themselves without any human intervention. That stopped being an effective method of wildlife management when agriculture replaced hunter/gatherer societies about 10,000 years ago. Wildlife has to be managed to survive in the mosaic of wilderness/developed land that is our current landscape. Hunters can be a very effective management tool. This is simply a salient fact, it means nothing to fanatic anti-hunter. Support your provincial organizations (e.g. BCWF); when an organization representing many individuals has a point of view, the number of members dictates how much credence our legislators give that point of view.
