With 250 000 000 Dollars to earn through hunting only in Montana preferences will be very clear also in future

That article just makes me sick. Hunting the predators never helps the situation, if it is not done by experts. Killing accidentally spotted animals rarely results in killing those wolves / bears / whatever that cause the economical damage. Most of the animals that die are the ones which are nice and big and provide good trophies. That means with wolves that the young ones will not learn to hunt for larger pray and will have to learn on their own - usually learn that livestock is quite an easy prey.

And you should think that 250 Mio Dollars would enable you to pay of 77 cattle and 157 sheep per year and finance some protections apart from shooting wolves.

We faced this problem last summer on our holidays in beautiful, wild mountains... We saw rich, arrogant hunters who came for weekends in their expensive stylish vans with sophisticated, electronically equipped guns that gave wild animals no chance in confrontation...
l'll never forget the sounds of shots at dawn that made our blood run cold, the squealing of the wounded animals that had been crossing our paths a few hours earlier and we were admiring their charm... And the horrible, mixed feelings of fury and helplessness!

Naturally, I understand foresters who sometimes need to shoot wild animals, but if they are normal, emphatic people, they consider killing to be the more nasty side of their job...

Remote areas of South East Poland. We heard wild wolves howling at nights and saw lots of deers, hares, beavers.... even a family of eagles lived in the vicinity... would be a paradise if not for the weekend hunters

Maybe if the people of Montana were to leave the wolf population ALONE, they might have nicer gardens. Montana is one of our less populated states...but even there, the wildlife must struggle for their own place to live.

I hope they will and can learn from there own mistakes.

And damn they are B.I.G !!! ( like everything in the US )

Other states are now considering "management" of emerging populations of wolves.

Please help fill out the remainder of the names on this petition to help the wolves of Washington State (on the coast of the Pacific Ocean).

Great! They even don't try to tell that they are doing it for "regulating the population" or something. They are doing it just for sport. Incredible.
I don't know, what is worse.

... and we (humans) think we're the most intellgent species on the planet?
