Sure - they were funny in Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

If that statement is true, why are the wolves that were turned loose in Yellowstone already spreading outside the park and killing livestock in the area?

Lack of food

Could also be that the territory they established happened to overlap with neighboring farms.

Right and they were spread all over the northern USA at one time cause they are so good at staying in one place. If that statement was true they would have died out long ago from inbreeding.

Funny how 2 of the 3 people that are all for the wolf are from FL. You know where all the large wild animals are. I bet if one of them wolves jumped over your fence with your pet in his mouth you would want him dead before you let your kids wait for the bus a few blocks away.

We have been getting a lot of Coyotes around my house and they have been following joggers around. I'm sure it will not be long before people start to panic after a pet or small child has a run in with one.

We saw 11 of them one night just behind the house (I live in the city near the schools) but they don't like the neighbors Rot they take off as soon as he come outside. The Rot will come out as soon as he smells them, a few barks and they scatter. For now.

must've ran out of beer.

You'd ransack a farm too if there were no more beer left in your area.

I'm with ya on this one. I'm a few semesters away from my bio degree and plan on going to grad school working on plant ecology. Some arguments (most) on the web are just not worth having.

Well that's what you get for building your houses in their habitat!!! Besides, if they kill a child or two, it's just nature's way of culling our numbers...

Don't roaches, rats and termites deserve to live and thrive? Please tell me that you wouldn't be on the phone to pest control in 5 seconds if your house was infested with them. Aren't we encroaching on their territory as well? Don't they have the same rights as bees?

BTW I love part time environmentalists, stand in the middle of your living room and bask in all the "habitat" that was destroyed to produce it. Every board came from a tree that may have sheltered animals and provided them with food. Every nail produced from an iron mine that may have destroyed thousands of acres of habitat. Every piece of plastic an oil well somewhere. The very warmth in the Winter and coolness in the Summer paid for with the loss of what was once wilderness. The beautiful motorcycles that we ride stand as testimony to our disdain of nature and our contribution to the destruction of Mother Earth... but OMG don't shoot a fucking wolf!!!

There is no such thing as "an argument not worth having"!!!

Yeah, what would anybody from FL know about wild animals? They only have alligators, panthers, bears, wild boar, shark... wait, what were you saying again?

What I really find amusing is that some people think "mankind" isn't "natural" to this planet. Like we're an alien life form that is a scouge to all life on earth.

None of the save the planet and save the animal people are willing to give up their cars and houses and electricity, heat and air, tv, computers, cell phones etc, and go live in a cave and hunt with a sharp stick and a rock (or to make it fair, bare hands) to bring "balance" back to the "natural" way of things, are ya???

Yeah, that's what I thought

BTW, them 'er some big ass wolves they growin' up there!!!
