Middle-Aged Wolves Retire From the Hunt

According to a new study, most wolves lose their prowess by age 3, just halfway through their lives. After that, they have to rely on younger members of the pack to catch the majority of their meals.

No wonder they are easy prey for human murderers.

Just when some bureaucrat declare wolves vermin then we learn they have better health care and family loyalty than us human well the ones in teh US that nobody wants to provide for that is! As many including myself have remarked before we can learn a lot from the animals if only we weren't so intent on destroying the by hunting and culling them everywhere! Perhaps the US government should initiate an expensive study on wolf family social security and internal care giving as it seems as if wolves had computor access they wood be on Care2 campaigning for better conditions for humans!

So, when the idiots allow wolf-killing and the idiots go wolf-killing, they might kill the majority of the hunters in the pack and send the whole pack down hill or cause the pack to start attacking livestock instead -- all caused by the freeloading moochers who demand to have a hobby at the expense of all the rest of us on OUR public lands. It's time to stop the freeloading permanently and make all public lands off limits to all hunting and trapping and also off limits for grazing herd animals permanently.

Okay, this has to show you how much I love wolves, I missed hearing the winning of my Yankees a minute or two ago. I was watching and listening to the Yellowstone Wolves!!!

Again I have to wonder at man's need to kill wolves, without knowing the true nature of wolves, and how easily we could lose them all over again. BTW, I'd like to know if the wolves killed this year had their ID tags on, saying "don't shoot me I'ma Yellowstone Wolf"? That's the problem with this mass slaughter of wolves, you don't know if they are part of the protected wolves, if they are the mother with cubs in the den, if they are the main "bread winner" of the pack, there's just no humanly possible way to know these things.

I think Bush is behind this after all, isn't he an honorable member of the NRA? Think of what he did for the boys with their toys. They can go hunting now. I hope their helicopters crash, I hope they slide down into mud and I hope grizzly bears come after them. I wouldn't cry about it. Would you?

Such a shame the great wolf is bound to go extinct due to mans hand one day.
