We think alike concerning wolves, that is for sure. Just ask the ranchers in Montana, Wyoming and Idaho how much they like those sweet Canadian Wolves. Who the bloody hell OK'd that purchase, anyway?
; After the great caribou kill-off by wolves in Spatsisi back in the mid 70's, they migrated South, down the Skeena river, Killing off the ungulates on the way, moose, caribou and goats as well as the few deer that were beginning to multiply along the corridor, until they hit the Bulkley Valley and the scattered civilization that lived there. Here, at Hazeltown, B.C. the packs split, some spreading West to Terrace and others spreading out East as far as Burns Lake.
; While destroying the deer and moose populations, along with the local carrion eaters, the coyotes, they sustained their numbers and continud to greatly increase in numbers by eating beef as the ungulates #'s were decimated. Beef ranches border the highway in both directions, but mostly in the East. By the end of the 70's, many hunters and ranchers had had enough, bought 10/80 poison (gopher poison) cooked it down to concentrate it and injected fat and meat balls. They then dropped them from planes and spread them by snowmobile in fields and on open lakes, trying to limit the #'s of innocent causalties, where-ever the wolves travelled. Within 4 years of the start of this 'private program', we started seeing moose and deer again in the Valley. The bounced back quite quickly after only a meagre poisoning program as the wolves learned to stay away from humans, again.
; Had they been taken care of in Spatsisi, they wouldn't have migrated South and hit the populated areas, threatening children on their way to school (happened several times) in the city of Terrace nor killing their pets- numerous occurances, bush areas of town. The bunny huggers in the big Southern Cities along with the socialistic friend's of animal bast---s hidden in the Game branch were the reason for this situation. It is unfortunate it had to be taken over and remedied by average citizens who'd had enough. They even ran one biologist out of Smithers.
: Similar things happened in Alaska when the wolves were at their worse - when offered their very own 'wolf' live-trapped and shipped to them, the do-gooders in Los Angles said "no, we just want to know they're roaming free in Alaska"..... eating moose. I added that.
