Good on the guy. This uproar is ridiculous. Is he supposed to ask the wolf before he shoots if it is a couple peoples favourite wolf?
How about all the ungulates that wolf rips apart every year? Wolves are hunting/killing machines and will do so for the fun of it, they will kill one deer a week for every week that that wolf requires to live. So lets not use our emotions in these situations, use your head, and if you don't know what that means do some research and you will soon understand that all animals need to be managed!
Sorry, don't agree, and that's one desperate rationalization. This is the kind of PR disaster that puts pressure on both bureaucrats and politicians to further restrict or end hunting and that's the ones that still support us at all. This wolf walked around the city and I suspect lost it's fear of humans, making it far more vulnerable than most to being harvested.
Oh everything comes back to bite hunters in the butt this day and age. We can’t kill anything and someone has an issue with it. Screw em you can’t keep eco idiots happy just can’t, how many times do we have to have this lesson play out. Its just another damn dog, lots of em out there. Don’t turn a wild animal into some kind of mystical pet and this won’t happen. They are to blame no one else.
Sure let a wild animal walk around town, "a wolf"!! That wolf could have easily taken down a child or a grown person for that matter and if that happened then there would be a huge issue! Sorry, wrong! Its reality! RF you are truly delusional!!
