I dont understand the hostility towards wolf reintroduction in Colorado

[old bugger]

In Minnesota where some wolves are trapped from & hauled to western states. I feel for you guys. I hate wolves. I live in north central Mn red state country, & most of these idiotic laws here are from the 2 blue parts of the state. Ya the parts that control the state. We had wolf hunting a few years ago, people were happy as all get out to hunt them. We are losing our moose, our deer up north. The DNR says the wolf isn't the problem. They lie. I want the season open here again. I'm telling you they are no good. They are heavy in the northern part of our state & need to be hunted. I have nothing for the supporters of these killers.

I just don’t think we should be messing with it. If wolves were good they wouldn’t have gotten low on numbers in the first place. However you could argue hunters Impacted that as well. All I’m saying is I don’t see the benefit.

If you are not an expert on the situation why would you make comment on it then without research?

The left side of our 2 party political system is built on exactly that. You’ve got a sitting president who believes a 9mm projectile at pistol velocities can eviscerate a human.

Very interesting reading all the different opinions and sides in this thread.

Nice to see that some people can also discuss topics without the aggressive/slightly hostile keyboard warrior vibes

If those who supported wolf reintroduction would read the accounts of those (like frank glaeser), who spent years living around wolves, they would understand that wolves are not some noble creature that only kills what it needs and eats all it kills. They enjoy killing and they kill for sport. The stories of wolves eviscerating one caribou after another and then just leaving them are a fascinating contradiction to the image built up by predator worshippers. They are a beautiful and intelligent creature, and they enjoy a good chase.
