molson_golden2002 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I'm part of an organization that is buying Russian made SAMs and giving them to the wolves. We are training the ferociuos bass-tards how to use them, which is no easy task, but once these animals are ready, don't jump in a helo in Alaska!

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I wonder if this is true... I heard one time that there have been NO unprovoked wolf attacks on a human ever reported. That is by a sane, healthy wolf. Everything one hears is just myth. On the subject of aerial wolf hunting... What's so bad? If they can control the numbers in a respectful way, what is the harm?

I didn't watch the video, having already discussed this a few weeks ago. I'm an animal rights sympathizer, but this line of attack is disingenuous. The fact is that responsible and humane animal population control is not a pretty issue, and just about every state pays somebody to go in and thin the herds. Usually its a night-time sniper hunting deer with a silencer in the community commons. Imagine what you could do with that in an ad! The Alaska approach is the only one that makes sense in a place that big, and the whole foot issue - though distastefull - is simply the best way to ensure accountability.

olivier in france Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 They should do like we did here in the old times! The people of my hometown region the old province of Dauphiné is nicknamed the Bruleurs de Loups ("Wolves burners") -it is the name of Grenoble's hockey team now- a reference to the traditional way our ancestors killed wolves in our dear Alps mountains: The whole village chased the wolfpack with torchs and fires till they had the pack blocked in a dead end ravine then they were throwing the torchs on the pack burning them all! A little barbaric but efficient! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little barbaric but efficient! Honestly... That is what I was getting at... Being a European Olivier, was this whole "wolf thing" myth and hype? There are solitary animals that do not like human intervention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are solitary animals that do not like human intervention. Solitary not really, they like to live in packs/families of 4-10 animals... BTW they do not like human intervention or human meat... but do like lambs, veals or goats, especially when the winters are tough and the wild preys are rare ... so well that explain why they were not too welcomed by my ancestors around our villages! And don't forget the rabbies that could transform a wolf into a crazy monster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't forget the rabbies that could transform a wolf into a crazy monster! Solitary... I meant that they don't like to interact with humans... Yes, their pack. I understand going after them about killing livestock... I never understood how the whole "wolf myth" and getting humans got started... I guess it was a natural PR progression to rally against the animal? Stuff like "Red Riding Hood", "Big bad wolf."... Oh... You know who I blame? The damn Germans!!!... Take in the Grimm's Fairy Tales etc.. etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's steamed because wolves do it really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
