Quote: Hope you're right, Rod - unless something is done, as far as wolf predation goes, you ain't seen nothin' yet.
Daryl, we've seen 16 years of "Wolf Recovery" {the US euphemism for "Destruction of Heritage, Custom and Culture of Rural People"} with no management of wolves except for one year. One.
We've seen stock depredations {maiming and killing of livestock}, disease spread {ecinococcus granulosa, etc}, decline of elk populations from 125,000 to 100,000 and falling...and the deepening fear of rural women for the safety of their children and the bitter rage of men {...and some women...} at a Federal government that would seed such a scourge upon its own people.
All this...after 80 years of wolf-less blessing.
I believe you. We've seen nothing yet, and neither have the wolf lovers.
Little by little.
