@Wildrsq they don't sell the wildlife. the fish and wildlife department is who protects the wildlife from becoming endangered and extenct. the game wardens (the law enforcment branch of the fish and wildlife depart.) do a great job catching poachers and putting them behind bars. the fish and wildlife department get paid by doing their job, without the animals they wouldn't have a job.

@beavthetrapper Hunting and trapping of the Lynx has been closed for more than 40 years in Maine, 40 YEARS!!!And these state biologists are being paid by the people (DNR) that are in the "business" of selling OUR wildlife, not very bias or scientific if you ask me.

@Wildrsq yes hunting and trapping lynx is closed in maine but the trapping of it's competion has helped it's population climb, by allowing it have a larger prey population. lynx can be eaten, it would be no different then eating bobcat and many trappers do eat bobcat.

@beavthetrapper Hunting and trapping the Lynx has been closed in Maine since 1967 and US Fish and Wildlife Service has the Lynx listed as Threatened.

Why would anyone hunt or trap a Lynx? Do you eat Lynx?

[Wildrsq]

@beavthetrapper habitat loss and hunting/ trapping! Trapping what in Maine had a positive effect in the lynx popuation?

[beavthetrapper]

@Wildrsq says peta and organizations like it. they have low numbers due to loss of habitat. in alaska and a good part of canada they are doing fine. studies done by the fish and wildlife department have shown an increase in lynx numbers. the studies also show that trapping had a positive impact on the lynx populations in maine.

@beavthetrapper The Canadian Lynx is suffering in the US why? Because of hunting and trapping you idiot!!! That is a fact! Look it up!

[beavthetrapper]

@Wildrsq if there isn't enough food then it is already to late, the animals get malnurished and starve to death, or die from disease. which is a much worse way to die then a bullet, or a kill trap. if they food source is low because of one animal it can hurt other species including endangered species. an example would be coyoties and bobcats eat rabbits, deer, and other animals about that size. if those animals numbers get to low then the canadian lynx can suffer.

[Wildrsq]

@beavthetrapper here is some scientific fact , when food is not abundant they have less young or dont reproduce at all.

Wildlife can control their own population without traps or bullets.

@beavthetrapper BS!!!
