You will need to sit down and bolt on for this one---read an article in the Bozeman paper yesterday that another liberal genius is suggesting, in an attempt to control game numbers in parks here in the west, they put in small packs of wolves..just enough to control the game number---WTF???
Has no one learned a thing here???

The article states they could collar all the animals and if they posed a problem they could be tracked and eliminated --or neutered from the start so they could not reproduce...IMHO, the neutered part sounds good for the ones who come up with the idea of reintroducing wolves in the first place..

It gets even better, Ripp - they want to NEUTER the wolves first!

So let me get this idiot's idea straight - someone wants to spend money (during this depression) to make eunuch Wolves and have a threat to livestock as a secondary problem (thereby raising the cost of meat) to take care of a problem that could be solved by hunters (who would make money for state coffers and the supporting tourism industry, as well as provide meat...). Am I missing something here?

Researchers say small packs of gray wolves introduced to national parks and other sites across the country could curb oversized elk and deer herds that are eating up parklands.
Keeping the predators on target would be a tricky prospect: They breed prolifically, roam hundreds of square miles and easily pick up a taste for cows and sheep.
The proposed solution, outlined in a paper for the journal BioScience: Neuter the wolves, fence them in, fit them with shock collars and add a tracking device so they can be hunted and killed if they get too far afield.
