[RC] wolves killing livestock and reasons why - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Kimberly Price kprice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== I'd like to throw one bit of somewhat little known research is out there, that wolves do indeed kill many sheep or lambs at once as the prey are enclosed by fences. In the real world the prey can disperse and get away, the predator drive is satisfied when one animal is brought down, but our man-made artificial world creates an environment where the predator drive is accentuated by prey which cannot dispurse and massive killings become common. So no, it isn't for 'fun' although some is to teach youngsters how to hunt. Also, research shows if you take out the predators then another will take its place, maybe one not as well behaved as the first. IF there are no more predators then the prey that MAN likes to hunt will be diseased as man only weeds out the young tender strong meat, not the old and sickly meat like natural predators do, and once again the balance is screwed up. It is the right wing anti-predator thinking which endangered the wolf and grizzly to threatened extinction in the first place. Sorry, but I believe in feedlots for our cattle and wild places our predators can still populate. Its time we recognize the value of this and quit destroying the earth God gave us. ===========================================================One of the great joys of being a pompous idiot is that you can do and think whatever you want. ~ Homer Safferwiffle ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ===========================================================
