wolves are my fav animal so every person i saw in pics and even people that arent in pics but kill wolves i said you pick on some on your own your own size!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm making rugs out of the wolves that I killed. I will proudly hang them on my wall so all can see that I saved hundreds of elk from a meaningless slaughter.
.....the vile lies spewed by Defenders of Wildlife. You have no facts, all you have ar elies. Why don't you educate yourself on this subject before making stupid videos spreading bullshit lies?
Please read the description and look at the link from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service...
Yeah, I'd like to know how their Rocky Mountain Wolf Recovery 2010 Interagency Annual Report is a 'bullshit lie'. Same goes for the WY annual wolf report.
These reports are from 2010 because that is when I made this video.
Maybe you also should have read my comment at the top of this page where I explain that I know wolves sport kill before you called me a 'lemming'.
@immywolf The USFWS has done nothing but lie from the beginning of the wolf recovery project. You think they are going to tell the truth now? LOL, you are a lemming.
Your claim that wolves only kill the old sick or weak animals is a blatant lie. It's pathetic that you little lemmings believe such propaganda. The wolves favorite meal is an elk calf Very often they will rip it from the mother elk as it is being born then leave the mother to die a slow death. Elk herds need a survival rate of calves 25-30 per 100 cows to sustain their numbers. Thanks to the wolves in most areas of Idaho that number is in the single didgets. All you are doing is repeating....
You don't have any facts in this video. Only ignorant propaganda! You can't use statistics on livestock predation for the entire country when wolves are only in a few areas of the country. Yes people kill alot of deer and elk but hunting is regulated to ensure a healthy sustainable herd year after year. You fail again. many herds in Idaho and Montana have dropped 65-80%in the last decade from wolf predation. Some even more. This is not healthy for the elk herds.
The existence of God is no argument. But think about the nature itself. It is all set for a good reason, and by interfering it you will cause damage. There were always problems like overpopulation and extinction, and there always will be, but nature has found to resolve these problems. The most stupid thing I've heard of is that the way wolves hunt is cruel. Of course it happens a lot that prey is suffering, but do you really think only wolves eat their prey alive?
That happens all the time, and even if these animals have to feel agony and pain in a way we would never be able to imagine, this is how it works sometimes. That's nature. Most animals catching prey, like lions, hyenas etc. do that from time to time. You can nothing do about, and it will be still there, even if there are no humans living on earth anymore.
Thank you my friend for making this video, sadly, ignorant wolf hunters ignore these facts. I wish those hunters would at least TRY to educate themselves on wolves and their behavior, diet, eating/hunting habits, etc. But no, they think if they SEE something in the wild, they know ALL about it and why it happened, but there's more to it than that. It's why we have biologists. There's still scientific debate on whether wolves "sport kill" or not. But scientists say there's a reason for it.
Idiot humans that support wolf killing, and even the idiots that go out and enjoy the killing are all just fucking jealous that the wolf is much smarter than them.
Wolves are like humans in that they form groups and have common goals for the group to survive. Wolves are BETTER because they stay together and don't turn on their members! They don't KILL more than what they NEED!
Humans are selfish, disgusting bastards who only want for themselves; they don't give a shit about anyone else.
..humans have an inner code, which they believe to be seized, all life, even his own species to eradicate long-term ...only man needs trophies and stupidity is only seen at humans...wolves are in a way much more intelligent as humans maybe this is the fact behind the sad story of exstinction of this carnivore or many other animals...
@CxRAZxYxKxILLxA You're a fuckin idiot . Wolves were nearly wiped out in the U.S by 1920 and that didn't hurt anything. They are no damn good but do make good targets. Grizzlies are a minor threat to cattle and they are controlled. Coyotes are not a real threat but they are fun to kill. I just shot 4 pups with my .350 Rem Mag . It ripped em in half.
@bucksmasher1 You're the fucking idiot. Didn't you watch the video? Wolves kill the sick and injured, letting the herd LIVE and CREATE more young. Idiot 'hunters' like you kill what you see, taking only for yourself. Wolves would be better extinct? Then you're also going to make your 'game' extinct. Slowly, all animals will die out and then humans.
I'd like to see how you felt if humans were just in the middle of the 'food chain', you wouldn't like feeling the threat of death every day.
@Serrina You're full of shit.Wolves kill the old and sick when the find them but they mostly kill the young fawns and calves and the herd doesn't get to grow, Wolves ate the Yellowstone herd down from 20,000 to 5,000 over 15 years. With all the young they ate it adds up to 90.000 elk they killed. Game animals thrived after they wolves were slaughtered in the early 1900's. It's time to end the failed wolf experiment and kill the useless disease ridden vermin dogs again. 00 Buck Shot works good
@bucksmasher1 Yellowstone is a semi-controlled environment for animals to thrive. It's constantly being cleaned so of course the animals are not going to get as sick there as when they'd be in a different location.
Just go see how good your buck shots are up close.
You said it yourself, wolves kill the old and the sick because they are the easiest to catch. There is more meat on a full grown elk that is sick or crippled, then on a calf, so they will go for it. This is called natural selection and then the strongest elk are left to reproduce. Hunters are liars who want wolves exterminated so they can hunt the elk for themself; the fluctuations in populations is normal for prey and predator and will always be restored naturally.
@bucksmasher1 look buck stop it! god planned out how certain animals eat other certain animals to keep their population normal and under control untill WE came along and killed them thinking that WE know what's best for them!
@ThePlanetRobloxia So you think it's God's plan for population control and humans should not interfere . I guess then by your way of thinking it was God's plan that 35% of the humans who got the Small Pox virus died from it and scientists should not have interfered because it is part of God's plan for human population control. Duh .No god has ever had anything to do with it. Wolves are a disease. We have the vaccine. We need to inject them with 00 BuckShot.
@bucksmasher1 So, wolves a disease. Well, I don't think wolves wipe out an entire species every 30 minutes. They don't shoot one another in the head because it's a "Rush", and I'm pretty sure they don't go into the rainforest and destroy an aria the size of a football field in a hour. No, that's us.
The fact that ever since the re introduction of wolves in yellowstone, wolves haven't been controlled causing a decrease in elk and moose. Out of all the elk territory about 80% of it is taken over my wolves.
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU THROW YOUR STUPID INSULTS, TROLLS AND ARGUMENTS AT ME.
Look, I made this video a while ago, and at the time I didn't believe that wolves sport kill. Well I have now seen proof of it, so I do understand that it exists. So you don't need to waste your time going on about that in this comment section.
Secondly, PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION I have all my sources for facts in there. I spent a lot of time researching this, SO DON'T TELL ME TO RESEARCH MY FACTS.
You talk about how few cattle were killed by wolves. There are NO accurate records for this information! A rancher has to have undisputable evidence to prove a cow was killed by a wolf. Just because wolf tracks are the only tracks around the cow and only wolf teeth marks are seen DOESN’T mean the cow died from a wolf. So that cow get counted as unknown death.. The same falls under an elk kill.
Composition of Wolf Kills: kills made by wolves in 2002, including 291 elk, 21 bison, 4 wolves. The composition of elk kills was 34% calves (0–12 months), 31% cows, 22% bulls, Bison kills included 10 calves, 3 yearlings and 8 adults. wolves on the Northern Range killed an average of 1.8 elk per wolf per 30-day study period.
@powerwolf901 Typical wolf hugger propaganda bullshit. You need to get YOUR facts straight. Only 5% of the deer and elk killed by wolves are the old and sick. In the spring they target the deer fawns and elk calfs first,then they go after any deer they see and the elk yearlings, then it's the elk cows and bulls.
@powerwolf901 Not in heavy snow. The deer has to break a trail and gets tired quickly. The wolf simply gets on the broken trail behind the deer and runs it down. Regarding your post about helping the "Idaho Wolves" There were only about 20 left when the canadian wolves were brought in. as soon as the canadian wolves found the idaho pack the canadian wolves killed EVERY ONE of them. They're all dead. All the wolves alive in Idaho are offsprings from the ones brought down from north canada .
@bucksmasher1 Yeah, in heavy snow they do get the healthy deer, since they got tired easily.People shouldn't be introducing new animals to new places.It just messes up the other animals lives.
Idaho had a Native species of wolf that was destroyed by the introduction of the Canadian grey wolf. Nowolves.com was created to show awareness of the CANADAIN Wolf problem. When people ware the product they get asked the question why and then they can tell their side of the story.
@nowolvescom Then they should be helping the Idaho wolves.Also I know alot about wolves.You probably think i'm a WolfaBoo, well i'm not.Anyway they should make a website about the Idaho wolves.There just wasting space on the internet about the problem of canadain ones.
Immywolf you really need to research your facts! Wolves do NOT target just the sick.

@bucksmasher1 Alberta Canda is going to shit there pants when they kill all the wolves,and things start getting out of hand,like the deer getting into fences,and eating the livestocks food,and such.
I hope all the people who think killing wolves is bad get attacked by a wolf, and get left to die. Then why there laying there they will re-think the problem.
This is ridiculous... Just a bunch of people living in la la land again. Of course more dogs and coyotes kill more livestock, there are more of them! Sure, controlling the population of hunting wolves could be better, but the success rate for hunting them on the ground is so low that it is the reason you need a plane. Fish and Game in Montana has already told the Federal Gov they will have no part anymore for the conservation of wiolves because it has been a diaster.
As for the coyotes, coyote predation upon some animals(like foxes) animals does seem to decrease such predation. From maybe this standpoint I can concurr. Though foxxes are under pressure from wolves, they benefit more from the pressure the wolves put on the coyotes, which kill the most game of most wild predators. Seems the only thing worse than primary predators is secondary predators promoted by default defaultsecondary status. Still not sure that primary predator management is always wrong.
These extremist hunters, supported by extremist politicians, need to be removed from hunting and wildlife management! They are incapable and unwilling to step back, look at the big picture, nor do they seem to understand science! They are only driven by blood lust, and that is wrong! Wildlife belongs to ALL of us, not these states with an agenda! We outnumber them, so, we need to form a powerful lobby and enact legislation that will sanction states like Montana, Idaho, Alaska and Wyoming!
With the negative comments made on this page - there are some ignorant, closed minded, greedy, hating competition hunters out there,. You have been brainwashed very well by those among and before you that just seem the world revolves for you. That its okay to blow away elk , gut and chop up, but its bad when a wolf hunts and eats their meal to survive?They are predators, thats their purpose. Are you questioning Gods creations?You probably go to church and say you respect God too dont you?
so very thankful u put this up with FACTS! thats the thing with all this too many wolf people argue from the heart only.but the real answers are in the facts.when i give my speeches i say the same thing.FACTS! ty soo much for this i plan on sharing.:)
The percentages on this video are rediculous. If i said there is not a crime problem in california because the percentage of New Yorkers comitting crime there is only .11% would that make any sense? Well saying only .11% of all livestock killed in the whole continental U.S. doesnt either because only 3 states even have wolves! Check the percentages for those states.
You think the way these wolves were killed is brutal ? Watch a pack rip a cow elk to pieces and eat hunks of it while it is still alive. This video is wolf hugger bullshit. Defenders of Wildlife is a wolf hugger fraud. They are actually Destroyers of Wildlife. Thier pro wolf policies are destroying deer,moose and elk herds.
@danju911 uh huh, you know nature and all its secrets but you can't tell when someone is being sarcastic....? well lets just agree to disagree, it seems to me that we are getting nowhere with this, you may think what you want and I will do the same.
@danju911 I dont know if your kidding or you missed my point... because I was very sarcastic and was not exaggerateing. Humans cannot know whats good for anything other then ourselves. we want to control everything, we are greedy things, and nature is just one of those things. We, as ignorent humans (yes im calling myself ignorent) cant begain to understand the laws of nature.
@danju911 nows my turn, oh really? so the millions of years nature controlled itself was just a fluke? Because you know, Humans are quite new to nature compared to the age of the earth. And nature has been able to keep itself alive quite well. But I guess your right, to ignorant people nature is just in our imagination, that we of the all mighty humans (pounds chest) are supreme and all knowing, even more then the very thing that made us.
@danju911 No, nothing is population control. the population is controlled by the laws of nature not by humans with guns. 'population control' is just a phrase to make ignorant people feel better about animal slaughter.
@superanimallover2010 It's about population control, and keeping up the tradition, do you think your ancient caveman ancestor Uglar was a vegetarian? No, without hunting humanity wouldn't ever have inhabbited the Earth.
@superanimallover2010 Do you? Most of you stupid animal rights people won't acknowledge that. Also your stupid, if you think hunting is about slaughtering animals, there's a fucking bag limit, there's a fucking season, modern hunting is about as animal friendly as it ever will be.
@danju911 I would feel sad for the animal, aerial hunting is no way to hunt, FOR ANYTHING, and in most cases in the US are illegal. There is no pride in killing an animal that is running from a giant thing from the air, and should not be viewed as anything but barbaric and unsportsmanlike (not that im saying I condone sports hunting, because I think that is also barbaric)
Well for hundreds of years wolves were persecuted and destroyed because of an irrational fear of them. Lions and tigers are more popular among the public- eg. Lion King, etc. Have you seen ONE children's movie about a wolf hero? Or a movie that portrays wolves as what they really are? NOT bloodthirsty killers?
Many people do not understand the wolf, and think they deserve to all die.
I feel the need to educate the public about the true nature of wolves so they can be saved.
It's quite funny, you think that because you're related to many hunters you know a lot about wolves. Well, actually you'll find that most hunters are VERY ignorant about wolves and how they play a major role in their native ecosystems. Most of these hunters only care about what they hunt: elk. They see wolves as a threat to elk, therefore being a threat to them hunting.
All they care about is that they get to kill animals. To me, killing animals is wrong. This is my view.
And you'll also find that wolves don't wipe out their own prey, as many hunters believe they do. I mean, why would an animal evolve to wipe out their own prey? Without their prey, they'd die out too.
And about livestock- like I said, if you'd watch the video, you'd see that wolves actually account for less than 1% of livestock loss every year. Coyotes kill far more. And the main killer is actually disease and the weather.
This information comes from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service actually. Yes, Defenders of Wildlife took the information and posted it to their website, and when I originally made this video I thought it was THEIR information. But when I did even more research, I discovered that they had gotten the numbers from USFWS. You'll also find that the US department of Agriculture has very similar numbers to these.
And guess what? All animals get diseases. Not just wolves.
@immywolf No, they were persectud because they killed livestock and humans. Of course we have a fear of them, they're predators that eat their prey alive.
Lion and Tigers have much lower numbers, FYI.And those movies? Why yes, there are quite a lot:
@WarriorcatsShadowfur ok first off, I agree that we need to regard any wild animal with respect and a bit of fear, but I would have to refute that fact that wolves in no way shape of form are viewed as pray by wolves, it is common knowledge that they in fact avoid human habitation as much as they can, and shy away from us, unless they are deceased or raised by humans.
@gigigood 1, lions and tigers need to be left alone as well as all other big cats. They are becoming extinct and the tiger is on the fast track. Poachers are the problem. I believe wolf populations are out of control because the idiots that were supposed to keep track of them didn't. I checked the elk population in Kentucky and there were at least 6 years that the elk population wasn't even checked. We don't have wolves but we have bears and Mountain Lions and coyotes.
CONTINUED: So why should we have to make everything 100% pain free? Animal abuse is something not tolerated by me, or my friends. There is a difference between these.
Hunting wolves isn't a bad thing. It controls population, so that elk, deer, and other animals that are hunted by them can live on, and so that, the wolves too, can live on. It's just a matter of CONTROLLING how much we kill. I totally support wolf hunting, just not aerial hunting, or really anything with traps, poison, etc. ALL animals should be hunted quickly, or as quickly as possible. It doesn't have to be 100% pain free. After all, many animals drown, rip apart, or eat animals alive.
Predators bring a balance to the ecosystem that is true. Without them, prey species soon become overpopulated and die due to starvation, disease, etc. We need them. Ranchers will lose more livestock to wolves as their numbers increase, More elk, deer, moose will also fall prey to them as well, BUT the wolf will bring a much needed balance to our wild areas. I'd like to see them brought back to middle tennessee where I am. They take out coyotes & we're overrun with them here.
Hunting is a necessary part of wildlife management. Sorry if that offends anyone's sensibilities, but it is what it is. IF you want to hunt, do it fairly and do it on the ground. Aerial hunting is not the way to do it. Match your wits and stamina with the animal you're hunting. Down here in the south, we call it hunting because when you're hunting for something, you're trying to find it, not out flying around somewhere. DUH
I am tired of people who hunt ANIMALS (not only wolves) for sport. i understand that some killed them for food or clothing, but for sport? nah, i don't think so. animals shouldn't be killed for sport. (why do you think they invented basketball or football?) it hurts when an animal is shot, and it feels like a massacre because they get shot more than once. and yes, they do killed other animals (well duh, they are carnivores what do you expect) but it is not an option. you all have to understand!
Elk populations in Idaho are destroyed thanks to your beloved gray wolves, who aren't even native to Idaho. You people need to get your facts straight and quit making up shit to support your own agendas.
Not a sporting way to go after a wolf. I think the people who do this sort of hunting should have their genitals stapled to their forehead and drilled in the ass with with a butt out device. I'm all for wolf hunting, especially around Yellowstone. The wolves are decimating the elk herds.
i wish you could post this vid you made to all those haters vids. o and p.s. in ur vid you shouldve mentioned tht mountain lions r also a reason for the livestock lose i believe thy kill more then wolves to
I believe not enough of you are truley affected by the over population of wolves in some areas, like my own. If your pay check was eaten on a regular basis, you would want the right to eliminate the problem as well. I am not against management, I am against over-population. If you are going to raise these things, feed em' too so they stay the hell away from my ranch.
You call these facts? You get your information from defenders of wildlife, this is nothing but one-sided bullshit.
Funny thing about defenders, they only care about their poster child, the wolf.
Ever hear of rattlesnake roundups? Shark fining? Coyote baiting? Those are far more brutal than that opening clip. Show some concern for animals who actually need our help.
and guess what? DOW frequently has campaigns to stop all the cruel things you listed- rattlesnakes, the use of poisons on coyotes and other wildlife, claw traps, bison slaughter, oil spills, sea life, polar bears, grizzlies, lions etc.
It's not just wolves. It's the animals that are being affected in bad ways by PEOPLE. Defenders of Wildlife is about defending wildlife from PEOPLE.
DOW has done NOTHING for stopping rattlesnake roundups. They've been going on for 50+ years! Don't give me that crap, I've looked into it.
Yes I know they've done LITTLE for other animals, but their main focus IS on wolves. Besides, defenders of wildlife has NO idea what they are talking about, and result in bomb threats to get their ways.
Support a real organization that cares about animals.
how would you know anyway??? You don't receive the 50 emails a month from DOW asking me to send letters to American politicians to try and convince them to save certain animals!!! Less than a quarter of them are about wolves actually. According to the anti-wolfs, ANYTHING, ANY group, ANY company, ANY TV CHANNEL (including national geographic, which has sophisticated scientists working for them) that has ANYTHING in them supporting wolves are 'FRAUDS AND LIARS'
I was at one point signed up for DOW. Yes, there were a few e-mails about other species but the majority was about WOLVES. Less than a quarter MY ASS, I know you wolfaboos love stretching the truth but good lord kid, give it up.
HMM well maybe because wolves NEED TO BE MANAGED. If people were able to hunt wolves regularly, I'm sure they'd stop complaining.
There needs to be a middle ground, and you stupid wolfaboos want your precious wolves to overpopulate apparently.
@triippyx WOLVES DO NEED OUR HELP! Open your fucking eyes and look at the world around you! Yes, all those other animals need our help but so do wolves!
@triippyx grey wolves are still on the endangered species list. they are not over populated, only in a couple spots. No Canada doesn't have open season on wolf hunting, its only allowed certain times you stupid bastard! why would you want to take the life of a beautiful creature like a wolf, no matter if its allowed to be hunted or not?
You really are stupid aren't you? The Grey wolf is listed as a least concern, dumb ass. They are NOT endangered. The red and Mexican wolves ARE. And yes, in some places in Canada there ARE open seasons, open seasons are only held at certain times you dumb twat.
Why do you eat meat? Are cows not cute? Do chicken not deserve a chance at life? I think sheep are ten times cuter than wolves, yet people eat them all the time.
@triippyx i am a vegetarian FYI, and yes in some places the grey wolf is listed as endangered. how the hell would i know what an open season is, im not a hunter and i never will be.
Oh just stop while you're ahead. That I'm a vegetarian crap only works if you don't use any animal product made materials. Our computers? Yeah, they have steel in them. Animal fat goes into the production of steel. You know how many daily materials have little bits of cow in them? I highly doubt you can avoid all of them.
You live in a house? Hunters had to clear that land of animals. You HAVE caused animals to die, regardless if you ate them or not.
@triippyx Those things are different, i cant stop them. i am doing all i can by not eating meat, and i have never eaten meat since i was 6 years old. I am not the one that causes the animals to die anyway, its the slaughterhouses.
Sweetie things aren't different just because you don't want to face up to the fact that you're being a hypocrite by using them. And if you use them you cannot call yourself a true vegan. Cow blood even goes into the making of certain foods, and it is really hard to avoid milk, and you know what they do to cows in order to get milk, right?
@triippyx yes i know what cows go through to make milk, the thing is my parents wont let me become vegan, but i will when i move out, im happy being vegetarian for now. btw if you didnt know, im 14.
like i said, im doing all i can to save animals right now.
@crowehskyull12 science shows that wolves are endangered. and even if they weren't, why would you want to kill such a beautiful animal? or any animal really?
wolves aren't beautiful, they're savage beasts. and it's true that i like them, but if one happened to be threatening my home, i'd kill it. just like one of them would kill me if they ever saw me, and dont act all innocent, it's not like you haven't killed a bug in your entire life, beacause their's allways gonna be an animal that you hate, or fear unconditionally.
@crowehskyull12 i dont hate any animal. yes i am afraid of some, but that is purely because of respect of their power. and i have never intentionally killed a bug or any animal, i respect all life.
wolves are not savage beasts, they wouldnt kill you unless you threatened them, or if they were starving to the point of death. in my eyes, and the eyes of lots of other people, wolves are the most beautiful animals alive.
@crowehskyull12 you are talking to someone who has had experience with wolves. my friend once owned a wolf as a pet and it would NEVER attack someone. its the same with wild wolves, they wont attack unless they are provoked.
if you think they will attack on sight then obviously you know nothing about them and you are just commenting for the heck of it. in your mind everything is just kill kill kill.
wolves are the most beautiful, strong, brave and powerful animals that i know.
first off, if your friend used to own a wolf as a pet, then theyre is fucking stupid, another thing, i know perfectly well that wolves are wild animals and they will attack you, and that you're making this bullshit up, beacause you're a lieing wolfaboo, and wolves are not beautiful, nor brave. they are often covered in shit, dirt, and sometimes even blood, and there's a fine line between brave and stupid. wolves have crossed the line, and are hella-stupid. remember that.
@crowehskyull12 no you are the stupid one, you are really starting to piss me off. for your information im getting a wolf as a pet soon, and they are great companions. like i said, even wild wolves wont attack unless provoked. im not making anything up, i swear it. wolves are beautiful, they arent covered in dirt because they clean themselves, probably more than you do. they are brave because they will risk their lives to take down an elk just to feed their family. google wolves and learn!
okay....just what? WOLVES DONT MAKE GOOD COMPANIONS. they're wild animals, and cavemen tied them up outside their caves to make noises when intruders came, and after a LONG line of doing this, the dog was created. picking a random wolf out of a forest to make it a pet will only lead to it ripping your damn head off. and wolves actually use their pack to hunt for itself, if it wanted to feed all of them, it would share. but the alpha eats first, and NEVER shares. idiot.
@crowehskyull12 I CANT BELIEVE HOW STUPID YOU ARE! Get your facts right before you go embarrassing yourself!
1- Duh, im not going to take a random wolf out of the wild and make it a pet! There is such things as wolf breeders, just like dog breeders. The wolf babies are already hand raised and used to humans.
2- Yes wolves hunt in a pack, and yes the alphas eat first, but thats only because the alphas need the most meat to stay fit so they can lead their pack. They dont eat it all, they share.
they only feed their pack because they're nothing without them, NOT beacause they actually care about them, at all. and it's still fucking stupid to just take a wolf from a wolf breeding area. and another thing, how am i embarresing myself, if YOU'RE the one who's a wolfaboo?
@crowehskyull12 you are embarrassing yourself because you dont know the facts, yet you act like you do.
wolves do care about their pack, just like you care about your family. they play and snuggle with each other, and wolves mate for life. they can survive without the pack, they just have to eat smaller animals. if you think wolves as pets are stupid, thats your problem.
i have never heard the word wolfaboo before. if it means someone who loves wolves then yes, im a proud wolfaboo.
nope. wolfaboo means someone who's retarded about their love of wolves, and shits theirself at anyone who thinks differently, also who makes up shit facts about wolves.
@crowehskyull12 if you think im lying about the facts, you are wrong. just google it and you will learn. i respect peoples opinions, but when they start going on and on about how wolves kill people it pisses me off. if you dont like wolves, thats your opinion, but you dont have to keep arguing with me about it.
i DO like wolves, but it's true that they DO kill people. and i respect people's opinion, also; but when they just act stupid, i get pretty annoyed, too.
@crowehskyull12 im not acting stupid, im just giving the facts. yes on occasion wolves kill people, but thats only because they are defending their pups or themselves.
@crowehskyull12 yes they are predators, but humans are not their natural prey so they dont eat them. humans are predators too but that doesnt mean we kill everything in sight.
@crowehskyull12 no they dont, if they killed every prey animal on their territory than they wouldnt have any food left, so they only kill what they need. if another wolf wanders onto their territory than they might attack, but rarely kill. if any other animal comes they usually ignore it, including humans.
humans may be smart at inventing stuff, but animals are smarter at surviving.
@crowehskyull12 the thing is, humans have lost a lot of their natural instinct, but animals still have it. animals are better at surviving in the wild than humans. i didnt say they were smarter, just smarter at surviving. sure, some humans can learn to survive alone in the wild but its not natural for them anymore because we are so used to living in cities with electricity and everything made simple.
@crowehskyull12 yeah we EVOLVED into an animal that cant take care of itself in the wild unless we have tools. we cant survive on just teeth and claw like most animals, we need guns or traps to hunt food. most people live a simple life where food is handed to you, so we lost our hunting instincts.
@twistedfocus100 that site is a bunch of bullshit, they stupid elk hunters are making up stories as an excuse to kill wolves. wolves do kill only what they need, if they didnt then they wouldnt be alive because all their prey would be gone.
@animalsrock345375 LOL your dumb. That is people living with the wolves showing what they do... I live in the back woods and I have seen it first hand my self.... So the videos are wrong? Also I bet you live in CA or in some city.. am I wrong?
@twistedfocus100 i live in canada fyi. i have seen wolves and i know that they arent like that. those people just want to kill wolves so there will be more elk for them to kill themselves
@twistedfocus100 you may have seen it, but that doesnt mean it happens all the time. i have seen it to, and they only kill once or twice a day, and they rarely ever eat it alive. the hunters are making up lies about wolves.
@twistedfocus100 one or two a day is not a waste, the animal is never wasted, if the wolves are done eating the crows will take the rest.
you just proved to me that you are a person that thinks they are superior to animals. if you havent checked, you are an animal too. wolves have emotions, they can feel pain and they can think through problems, how more human can that get? just cause they cant talk or walk on two legs doesnt mean they are any lower than us. its the same for any animal.
@twistedfocus100 no, you said that because you have no comeback. you finally realized that the things i say are true and not lies, so you have nothing to say back.
the fish and wildlife service recently found an overall decline in wolf numbers in the Northern Rockies- from 1,733 last year to 1,651. Breeding pairs also declined from 115 to 111.
The number of wolves there needs to be in the Northern Rockies for management is 2000+. And don't start on the original 300 wolves thing. That is a number with not much scientific research and evidence in it.
I would not be so worried if the number of wolves was 2000+.
Um, actually, no. Wolves are steadily inclining. I'd appreciate if you would source where on earth you got such bullshit from because they are telling you nothing but lies.
Defenders of bullshit forced these wolves onto this land, these are not the 'original' grey wolf. They are much bigger and require much more prey. Do your research, defenders will do nothing but screw your mind over.
@triippyx Thankyou, my thoughts exactly, these wolves have really screwed us over, time to repay the favor! The wolf we had in the first place was small. And why do the Germans, and the British care about our problems? They have no clue what its like to be looking over your shoulder all the time to be sure your not going to be eaten by a wolf.
I wouldn't mind these new wolves so much if people would just shut the hell up and let them be managed like every other predatory animal in the US. I'll never understand why people think wolves should get special treatment, other than 'baww they are our dogs ancestors', which the grey wolf played no part in the dog domestication anyway. :/
Hey, that's great that you 'wouldn't mind these new wolves so much if people would just shut the hell up and let them be managed like every other predatory animal in the US.' Because, I am not against management you know.
I will agree to managing wolves, ONLY if you don't destroy like 80% of the population or something, so you can get it down to the 'original recovery goals' of 300 wolves and 30 breeding pairs which weren't very realistic.
For your information I do not get all my information on wolves from DOW. I get it from National Geopgraphic, BBC, ABC, many photography journals/books like 'brother wolf' and 'white wolf' by Jim Brandenburg, and many other sources.
The facts about the wolf decline in 2010 is from U.S Fish and Wildlife. I would gladly post the link here but youtube has disabled people from posting links.
I will post the link for you in the description of this video.
Why don't you try getting information from unbiased sources, hm? And no, wolves are not declining. Jesus CHRIST will you stop with that crap? Do some REAL research, get some real facts, and THEN get back to me.
I don't mean from ABC or National Geographic. They aren't wildlife biologist dear, my information comes from wildlife biologist who support ALL wildlife, NOT JUST WOLVES.
I posted the Rocky Mountain Wolf Recovery 2010 Interagency Annual Report by U.S. Fish and WIldlife in the description of this video. Is not a 'unbiased' source?
USFWS are actually the ones who are agreeing to let them be managed...
Thank you for giving the facts! I think more people need to do this and maybe some action would finally be taken!.....and yes, I do expect some kill freak to leave nasty remarks..as usual

Your claim that wolves only kill the old sick or weak animals is a blatant lie. It's pathetic that you little lemmings believe such propaganda. The wolves favorite meal is an elk calf Very often they will rip it from the mother elk as it is being born then leave the mother to die a slow death. Elk herds need a survival rate of calves 25-30 per 100 cows to sustain their numbers. Thanks to the wolves in most areas of Idaho that number is in the single didgets. All you are doing is repeating....
ruj1970 1 month ago
You don't have any facts in this video. Only ignorant propaganda! You can't use statistics on livestock predation for the entire country when wolves are only in a few areas of the country. Yes people kill alot of deer and elk but hunting is regulated to ensure a healthy sustainable herd year after year. You fail again. many herds in Idaho and Montana have dropped 65-80%in the last decade from wolf predation. Some even more. This is not healthy for the elk herds.

The existence of God is no argument. But think about the nature itself. It is all set for a good reason, and by interfering it you will cause damage. There were always problems like overpopulation and extinction, and there always will be, but nature has found to resolve these problems. The most stupid thing I've heard of is that the way wolves hunt is cruel. Of course it happens a lot that prey is suffering, but do you really think only wolves eat their prey alive?

That happens all the time, and even if these animals have to feel agony and pain in a way we would never be able to imagine, this is how it works sometimes. That's nature. Most animals catching prey, like lions, hyenas etc. do that from time to time. You can nothing do about, and it will be still there, even if there are no humans living on earth anymore.

Thank you my friend for making this video, sadly, ignorant wolf hunters ignore these facts. I wish those hunters would at least TRY to educate themselves on wolves and their behavior, diet, eating/hunting habits, etc. But no, they think if they SEE something in the wild, they know ALL about it and why it happened, but there's more to it than that. It's why we have biologists. There's still scientific debate on whether wolves "sport kill" or not. But scientists say there's a reason for it.

Idiot humans that support wolf killing, and even the idiots that go out and enjoy the killing are all just fucking jealous that the wolf is much smarter than them.
Wolves are like humans in that they form groups and have common goals for the group to survive. Wolves are BETTER because they stay together and don't turn on their members! They don't KILL more than what they NEED!
Humans are selfish, disgusting bastards who only want for themselves; they don't give a shit about anyone else.

@Serrina You're full of shit.Wolves kill the old and sick when the find them but they mostly kill the young fawns and calves and the herd doesn't get to grow, Wolves ate the Yellowstone herd down from 20,000 to 5,000 over 15 years. With all the young they ate it adds up to 90.000 elk they killed. Game animals thrived after they wolves were slaughtered in the early 1900's. It's time to end the failed wolf experiment and kill the useless disease ridden vermin dogs again. 00 Buck Shot works good

@bucksmasher1 Yellowstone is a semi-controlled environment for animals to thrive. It's constantly being cleaned so of course the animals are not going to get as sick there as when they'd be in a different location.

@bucksmasher1
You said it yourself, wolves kill the old and the sick because they are the easiest to catch. There is more meat on a full grown elk that is sick or crippled, then on a calf, so they will go for it. This is called natural selection and then the strongest elk are left to reproduce. Hunters are liars who want wolves exterminated so they can hunt the elk for themself; the fluctuations in populations is normal for prey and predator and will always be restored naturally.

You talk about how few cattle were killed by wolves. There are NO accurate records for this information! A rancher has to have undisputable evidence to prove a cow was killed by a wolf. Just because wolf tracks are the only tracks around the cow and only wolf teeth marks are seen DOESN’T mean the cow died from a wolf. So that cow get counted as unknown death.. The same falls under an elk kill.

Sure, controlling the population of hunting wolves could be better, but the success rate for hunting them on the ground is so low that it is the reason you need a plane.

As for the coyotes, coyote predation upon some animals(like foxes) animals does seem to decrease such predation. From maybe this standpoint I can concurr. Though foxxes are under pressure from wolves, they benefit more from the pressure the wolves put on the coyotes, which kill the most game of most wild predators. Seems the only thing worse than primary predators is secondary predators promoted by default defaultsecondary status. Still not sure that primary predator management is always wrong.

It's quite funny, you think that because you're related to many hunters you know a lot about wolves. Well, actually you'll find that most hunters are VERY ignorant about wolves and how they play a major role in their native ecosystems. Most of these hunters only care about what they hunt: elk. They see wolves as a threat to elk, therefore being a threat to them hunting.
All they care about is that they get to kill animals. To me, killing animals is wrong. This is my view.

And you'll also find that wolves don't wipe out their own prey, as many hunters believe they do. I mean, why would an animal evolve to wipe out their own prey? Without their prey, they'd die out too.
And about livestock- like I said, if you'd watch the video, you'd see that wolves actually account for less than 1% of livestock loss every year. Coyotes kill far more. And the main killer is actually disease and the weather.

@gigigood 1, lions and tigers need to be left alone as well as all other big cats. They are becoming extinct and the tiger is on the fast track. Poachers are the problem. I believe wolf populations are out of control because the idiots that were supposed to keep track of them didn't. I checked the elk population in Kentucky and there were at least 6 years that the elk population wasn't even checked. We don't have wolves but we have bears and Mountain Lions and coyotes.

Hunting wolves isn't a bad thing. It controls population, so that elk, deer, and other animals that are hunted by them can live on, and so that, the wolves too, can live on. It's just a matter of CONTROLLING how much we kill. I totally support wolf hunting, just not aerial hunting, or really anything with traps, poison, etc. ALL animals should be hunted quickly, or as quickly as possible. It doesn't have to be 100% pain free. After all, many animals drown, rip apart, or eat animals alive.
GIRsquad 9 months ago
Predators bring a balance to the ecosystem that is true. Without them, prey species soon become overpopulated and die due to starvation, disease, etc. We need them. Ranchers will lose more livestock to wolves as their numbers increase, More elk, deer, moose will also fall prey to them as well, BUT the wolf will bring a much needed balance to our wild areas. I'd like to see them brought back to middle tennessee where I am. They take out coyotes & we're overrun with them here.

Hunting is a necessary part of wildlife management. Sorry if that offends anyone's sensibilities, but it is what it is. IF you want to hunt, do it fairly and do it on the ground. Aerial hunting is not the way to do it. Match your wits and stamina with the animal you're hunting. Down here in the south, we call it hunting because when you're hunting for something, you're trying to find it, not out flying around somewhere. DUH

Thank you. I appreciate that a lot. Most hunters I've talked to want aerial hunting in MT and ID.

I believe not enough of you are truley affected by the over population of wolves in some areas, like my own. If your pay check was eaten on a regular basis, you would want the right to eliminate the problem as well. I am not against management, I am against over-population. If you are going to raise these things, feed em' too so they stay the hell away from my ranch.

twistedfocus100 11 months ago
You call these facts? You get your information from defenders of wildlife, this is nothing but one-sided bullshit.
Funny thing about defenders, they only care about their poster child, the wolf.
Ever hear of rattlesnake roundups? Shark fining? Coyote baiting? Those are far more brutal than that opening clip. Show some concern for animals who actually need our help.
Do some REAL research for god sake.

@triippyx
and guess what? DOW frequently has campaigns to stop all the cruel things you listed- rattlesnakes, the use of poisons on coyotes and other wildlife, claw traps, bison slaughter, oil spills, sea life, polar bears, grizzlies, lions etc.
It's not just wolves. It's the animals that are being affected in bad ways by PEOPLE. Defenders of Wildlife is about defending wildlife from PEOPLE.

@immywolf
DOW has done NOTHING for stopping rattlesnake roundups. They've been going on for 50+ years! Don't give me that crap, I've looked into it.
Yes I know they've done LITTLE for other animals, but their main focus IS on wolves. Besides, defenders of wildlife has NO idea what they are talking about, and result in bomb threats to get their ways.
Support a real organization that cares about animals.

@triippyx
how would you know anyway??? You don't receive the 50 emails a month from DOW asking me to send letters to American politicians to try and convince them to save certain animals!!! Less than a quarter of them are about wolves actually. According to the anti-wolfs, ANYTHING, ANY group, ANY company, ANY TV CHANNEL (including national geographic, which has sophisticated scientists working for them) that has ANYTHING in them supporting wolves are 'FRAUDS AND LIARS'
this is complete BS.

@immywolf
I was at one point signed up for DOW. Yes, there were a few e-mails about other species but the majority was about WOLVES. Less than a quarter MY ASS, I know you wolfaboos love stretching the truth but good lord kid, give it up.
HMM well maybe because wolves NEED TO BE MANAGED. If people were able to hunt wolves regularly, I'm sure they'd stop complaining.
There needs to be a middle ground, and you stupid wolfaboos want your precious wolves to overpopulate apparently.

Grey wolves don't. They can handle a little hunting, looking at their populations they are over-due for hunting.
I play on going wolf hunting in Canada in the coming years, they have open season on them there.
triippyx 1 year ago
@triippyx grey wolves are still on the endangered species list. they are not over populated, only in a couple spots. No Canada doesn't have open season on wolf hunting, its only allowed certain times you stupid bastard! why would you want to take the life of a beautiful creature like a wolf, no matter if its allowed to be hunted or not?
animalsrock345375 1 year ago
@animalsrock345375
You really are stupid aren't you? The Grey wolf is listed as a least concern, dumb ass. They are NOT endangered. The red and Mexican wolves ARE. And yes, in some places in Canada there ARE open seasons, open seasons are only held at certain times you dumb twat.
Why do you eat meat? Are cows not cute? Do chicken not deserve a chance at life? I think sheep are ten times cuter than wolves, yet people eat them all the time.

@triippyx i am a vegetarian FYI, and yes in some places the grey wolf is listed as endangered. how the hell would i know what an open season is, im not a hunter and i never will be.
animalsrock345375 1 year ago
@animalsrock345375
LOOOL!
Oh just stop while you're ahead. That I'm a vegetarian crap only works if you don't use any animal product made materials. Our computers? Yeah, they have steel in them. Animal fat goes into the production of steel. You know how many daily materials have little bits of cow in them? I highly doubt you can avoid all of them.
You live in a house? Hunters had to clear that land of animals. You HAVE caused animals to die, regardless if you ate them or not.
How wasteful.
triippyx 1 year ago
@triippyx Those things are different, i cant stop them. i am doing all i can by not eating meat, and i have never eaten meat since i was 6 years old. I am not the one that causes the animals to die anyway, its the slaughterhouses.

Sweetie things aren't different just because you don't want to face up to the fact that you're being a hypocrite by using them. And if you use them you cannot call yourself a true vegan. Cow blood even goes into the making of certain foods, and it is really hard to avoid milk, and you know what they do to cows in order to get milk, right?
God you are an idiot.

@triippyx yes i know what cows go through to make milk, the thing is my parents wont let me become vegan, but i will when i move out, im happy being vegetarian for now. btw if you didnt know, im 14.

@crowehskyull12 science shows that wolves are endangered. and even if they weren't, why would you want to kill such a beautiful animal? or any animal really?
animalsrock345375 11 months ago
@animalsrock345375
wolves aren't beautiful, they're savage beasts. and it's true that i like them, but if one happened to be threatening my home, i'd kill it. just like one of them would kill me if they ever saw me, and dont act all innocent, it's not like you haven't killed a bug in your entire life, beacause their's allways gonna be an animal that you hate, or fear unconditionally.
crowehskyull12 11 months ago
@crowehskyull12 i dont hate any animal. yes i am afraid of some, but that is purely because of respect of their power. and i have never intentionally killed a bug or any animal, i respect all life.
wolves are not savage beasts, they wouldnt kill you unless you threatened them, or if they were starving to the point of death. in my eyes, and the eyes of lots of other people, wolves are the most beautiful animals alive.
animalsrock345375 11 months ago
@animalsrock345375
are you insane? wolves wont let you live if they see you. and if wolves are beautiful in your eyes, then you are probably hella-blind.
crowehskyull12 11 months ago
@crowehskyull12 you are talking to someone who has had experience with wolves. my friend once owned a wolf as a pet and it would NEVER attack someone. its the same with wild wolves, they wont attack unless they are provoked.
if you think they will attack on sight then obviously you know nothing about them and you are just commenting for the heck of it. in your mind everything is just kill kill kill.
wolves are the most beautiful, strong, brave and powerful animals that i know.
animalsrock345375 11 months ago
@animalsrock345375
first off, if your friend used to own a wolf as a pet, then theyre is fucking stupid, another thing, i know perfectly well that wolves are wild animals and they will attack you, and that you're making this bullshit up, beacause you're a lieing wolfaboo, and wolves are not beautiful, nor brave. they are often covered in shit, dirt, and sometimes even blood, and there's a fine line between brave and stupid. wolves have crossed the line, and are hella-stupid. remember that.
crowehskyull12 11 months ago
@crowehskyull12 no you are the stupid one, you are really starting to piss me off. for your information im getting a wolf as a pet soon, and they are great companions. like i said, even wild wolves wont attack unless provoked. im not making anything up, i swear it. wolves are beautiful, they arent covered in dirt because they clean themselves, probably more than you do. they are brave because they will risk their lives to take down an elk just to feed their family. google wolves and learn!
animalsrock345375 11 months ago
@animalsrock345375
okay....just what? WOLVES DONT MAKE GOOD COMPANIONS. they're wild animals, and cavemen tied them up outside their caves to make noises when intruders came, and after a LONG line of doing this, the dog was created. picking a random wolf out of a forest to make it a pet will only lead to it ripping your damn head off. and wolves actually use their pack to hunt for itself, if it wanted to feed all of them, it would share. but the alpha eats first, and NEVER shares. idiot.
crowehskyull12 11 months ago
@crowehskyull12 I CANT BELIEVE HOW STUPID YOU ARE! Get your facts right before you go embarrassing yourself!
1- Duh, im not going to take a random wolf out of the wild and make it a pet! There is such things as wolf breeders, just like dog breeders. The wolf babies are already hand raised and used to humans.
2- Yes wolves hunt in a pack, and yes the alphas eat first, but thats only because the alphas need the most meat to stay fit so they can lead their pack. They dont eat it all, they share.
animalsrock345375 11 months ago
@animalsrock345375
they only feed their pack because they're nothing without them, NOT beacause they actually care about them, at all. and it's still fucking stupid to just take a wolf from a wolf breeding area. and another thing, how am i embarresing myself, if YOU'RE the one who's a wolfaboo?
crowehskyull12 11 months ago
@crowehskyull12 you are embarrassing yourself because you dont know the facts, yet you act like you do.
wolves do care about their pack, just like you care about your family. they play and snuggle with each other, and wolves mate for life. they can survive without the pack, they just have to eat smaller animals. if you think wolves as pets are stupid, thats your problem.
i have never heard the word wolfaboo before. if it means someone who loves wolves then yes, im a proud wolfaboo.
animalsrock345375 11 months ago
@animalsrock345375
nope. wolfaboo means someone who's retarded about their love of wolves, and shits theirself at anyone who thinks differently, also who makes up shit facts about wolves.
crowehskyull12 11 months ago
@crowehskyull12 if you think im lying about the facts, you are wrong. just google it and you will learn. i respect peoples opinions, but when they start going on and on about how wolves kill people it pisses me off. if you dont like wolves, thats your opinion, but you dont have to keep arguing with me about it.
animalsrock345375 11 months ago

@crowehskyull12 im not acting stupid, im just giving the facts. yes on occasion wolves kill people, but thats only because they are defending their pups or themselves.
animalsrock345375 11 months ago
@animalsrock345375
no, it's beacause they're predators.
crowehskyull12 11 months ago
@crowehskyull12 yes they are predators, but humans are not their natural prey so they dont eat them. humans are predators too but that doesnt mean we kill everything in sight.
animalsrock345375 11 months ago
@animalsrock345375
true that, but humans are omnivores, and we're much more smart than any animal, wolves however, think they should kill anything on it's territory
crowehskyull12 11 months ago
@crowehskyull12 no they dont, if they killed every prey animal on their territory than they wouldnt have any food left, so they only kill what they need. if another wolf wanders onto their territory than they might attack, but rarely kill. if any other animal comes they usually ignore it, including humans.
humans may be smart at inventing stuff, but animals are smarter at surviving.
animalsrock345375 11 months ago
@animalsrock345375
oh, animals are smarter, eh? what about bear grills? i bet an ANIMAL wouldn't drink it's own piss to survive. but then again....
crowehskyull12 11 months ago
@crowehskyull12 the thing is, humans have lost a lot of their natural instinct, but animals still have it. animals are better at surviving in the wild than humans. i didnt say they were smarter, just smarter at surviving. sure, some humans can learn to survive alone in the wild but its not natural for them anymore because we are so used to living in cities with electricity and everything made simple.
animalsrock345375 11 months ago
@animalsrock345375
well, actually, humans haven't lost instinct at all. humans have EVOLVED.
crowehskyull12 11 months ago
@crowehskyull12 yeah we EVOLVED into an animal that cant take care of itself in the wild unless we have tools. we cant survive on just teeth and claw like most animals, we need guns or traps to hunt food. most people live a simple life where food is handed to you, so we lost our hunting instincts.

@twistedfocus100 one or two a day is not a waste, the animal is never wasted, if the wolves are done eating the crows will take the rest.
you just proved to me that you are a person that thinks they are superior to animals. if you havent checked, you are an animal too. wolves have emotions, they can feel pain and they can think through problems, how more human can that get? just cause they cant talk or walk on two legs doesnt mean they are any lower than us. its the same for any animal.

actually they are 'under-due'.
the fish and wildlife service recently found an overall decline in wolf numbers in the Northern Rockies- from 1,733 last year to 1,651. Breeding pairs also declined from 115 to 111.
The number of wolves there needs to be in the Northern Rockies for management is 2000+. And don't start on the original 300 wolves thing. That is a number with not much scientific research and evidence in it.
I would not be so worried if the number of wolves was 2000+.

Um, actually, no. Wolves are steadily inclining. I'd appreciate if you would source where on earth you got such bullshit from because they are telling you nothing but lies.
Defenders of bullshit forced these wolves onto this land, these are not the 'original' grey wolf. They are much bigger and require much more prey. Do your research, defenders will do nothing but screw your mind over.

@triippyx Thankyou, my thoughts exactly, these wolves have really screwed us over, time to repay the favor! The wolf we had in the first place was small.

I wouldn't mind these new wolves so much if people would just shut the hell up and let them be managed like every other predatory animal in the US. I'll never understand why people think wolves should get special treatment, other than 'baww they are our dogs ancestors', which the grey wolf played no part in the dog domestication anyway. :/

I will agree to managing wolves, ONLY if you don't destroy like 80% of the population or something, so you can get it down to the 'original recovery goals' of 300 wolves and 30 breeding pairs which weren't very realistic.

For your information I do not get all my information on wolves from DOW. I get it from National Geopgraphic, BBC, ABC, many photography journals/books like 'brother wolf' and 'white wolf' by Jim Brandenburg, and many other sources.
The facts about the wolf decline in 2010 is from U.S Fish and Wildlife. I would gladly post the link here but youtube has disabled people from posting links.
