Did you know that Wolves mate for life?

Here in Idaho they just sold 9,000 tags to murder Wolves.
How many "Family Value" people do you think got those tickets?
Entire clans (families) are in some serious sadness right now.
And that is the reason I had some wine last night, sometimes, it gets overwhelming I just get so tired of it all.

All my relations :

1. Surely a lot were bought up by preservation groups?

and even so every tag does NOT equal a kill for any kind of hunt.

3. My dear sagetea...

It makes me sad too, sweetie...

And mad as hell!

Wolves are graceful, intelligent, beautiful animals!

Their social structure is amazing...

I hear about wolf hunts, and it makes my blood boil. :grr:

4. Look, you have to understand...

We NEED to kill these wolves. They kill animals that WE want to kill. See how it works? Once an animal (no matter what kind) becomes a nuisance to us (humans), it is our God-friggin-given right to go out and obliterate it/them by any means we deem fit.

You wait until there's some sort of serious human demand for bamboo. Yeah, then you pandas are totally fucked.

6. I've read that different species mate for life....

I've often wondered; what if one animal, say a wolf, isn't happy about it? You can't exactly get a wolf divorce, can you? I also wonder what happens to adulterous animals if they mate for life. Is it OK for just one gender and tabu for the other? I know this sounds weird, but it's late and I can't sleep.

9. Oh yeah!

You often see bumper stickers that say "save a hundred elk, kill a wolf"
The funny thing is, Wolves only go after the old or weak elk, it is all a lie.
Idaho has some of the ruggedest mountains and forests in the west. Lots of wild life.

I "adopted" a wolf a few years ago from the Yellowstone pack. She was shot. Breaks my heart.
