    reintroduction isn't always a good thing for the species or the ecosystem though.

    Possibly, but the one thing I can guarantee you is that the introduction of humans to any and all ecosystems has been an unmitigated disaster.

    You have to be careful what you believe. Since Wolves were re-introduced into Idaho they have made a very successful comeback. Problem is, now hunters are claiming they are decimating elk herds and because hunting is big business in Idaho, those hunters have the legislator's ears. Now, the truth is, and the Dept. of Fish and Game can attest to the fact that hunters are just as succesful now as they have alway been based on percentage of elk/deer tags that are used. However, we have a new breed of "hunter" who screams up and own dirt roads and trails on ATVs that you can hear from 10 miles away and because these dip-shits can't find an elk the wolves must be killing them all. Bullshit! I know good, old-school hunters and they say nothing has changed except the elk are acting a little more like elk now that they have a natural predator in their midst once again.


    true.. you hear of farmers and hunters doing alot of bitching about wolves...
    i think its great that they are back...just have to make the transition from human predators to natural

    I'm pretty sure cougars used to be all over Wisconsin. They just got killed off over the years.
    Apparently there's enough in Wisconsin again that they are making their way into Chicago now..

    We have tons of wildlife here. Bobcats, mountain lions, bears... except for the time the mountain lion ate my 5 goats in 15 min., they have pretty much kept to themselves. The river otters are the worst!
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.

    Are those the other two?

    right about in the second pic is where I toss a big pack of firecrackers at his head.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.
