wolves do need to be managed

Here is a little video that shows a wolf attacking and dragging a dog away.

What I take away from that video is that the "deer" are the whole eco-problem! We must kill all the deer before they completely destroy the whole ecosystem and we have no birds or beavers or new rivers being created. What would we do if the Brits didn't educate all us dumb Americans. All hail the Queen!

It is truly hilarious how people overreact about wolf stories. If it was a video of a car hitting a dog people wouldn't be calling for us to get rid of or drastically limit the number of cars, but if a wolf kills a dog everybody instantly jumps to the conclusion that we need to kill the wolves. Sorry, sorry, I meant "manage" them, by killing large number of them. WOLVES ARE PREDATORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What did everybody expect the wolf to do bring the dog a pie, maybe a hand knitted scarf so he could stay warm up in CANADA(not Minnesota).

I guess I'm the odd man out. I strongly disagree with the managing and senseless killing of these animals in the so-called hunting season they have started on them. They are a very important part of the environment, heck watch the whole video that ray posted. Sad sad day when people are calling for the eradication of such a majestic creature.

I agree wolves are predators and are vital to nature in the fact they cull the weak, BUT when an animal of that cunning and typically secretive nature comes in and takes someones pet not being afraid means they are getting a bit brave and to me that means overpopulated. I don't believe they should be eradicated.......... controlled yes. somewhat what the DNR  does with the deer population and its issuance of antlerless permits.

The heading of the post says managed, not eradicated.  I think it was uncle ted that said if you have a season and charge to hunt them they will never be extinct.  Or something close to that.  In areas the wolf has become overpopulted and greatly reduced there natural diet and have started to go after pets.  This video is from canada. Never said it wasn't. This same exact thing has and does happen throughout the northern part of the state.
