Please let them stay on the endangered list. Otherwise there will be no wolves anymore.

Noted. The Wolves shouldn't have been open to hunt. They sit with their prize. Makes me ill. What chance did the poor animal have, none. Thanks Trudi.

Man has no common sense!!!!!!

Noted! So... when will we get licenses to hunt the hunters? Clearly the hunters are not on the endangered species list and to we really want them to procreate so they can pass down this legacy to their own little murderers.
This makes me sick!

The people need to move away from the wolf populations. I don't understand why in the world these people would live in known wolf territory if they hate them so much because the wolves were there first.

Greed and kickbacks at their unbridled best! The first wolf that had been spotted in Yellow Stone National Park as the population struggled to reach a more balanced level.... was also the FIRST WOLF KILLED/MURDERED AFTER THE BAN WAS LIFTED...A beautiful black or nearly black wolf...called Limpy (because he had a bit of a limp), now DEAD. $$$$$$$$$

Update:
Monday, April 28, 2008 1:45 PM

Environmental and animal rights groups are suing the federal government in hopes of restoring endangered species protections for gray wolves in the Northern Rockies.
The lawsuit alleges those states lack adequate laws to ensure wolves are not again eradicated from the region.
An attorney for Defenders of Wildlife says the groups will seek an immediate injunction to suspend state management until the case is resolved. Defenders of Wildlife is one of twelve groups that filed the suit Monday in U.S. District Court in Missoula.

What a beautiful animal! What a waste! What a pathetic excuse for a human being! He said in the article that wolves killed two of his horses. That sounds far-fetched. A (Montana) Indian friend of mine said coyotes usually bother livestock more than wolves. Actually wolves tend to stay away from areas where humans and subsequently, livestock reside.

I hate it when Hunters show there kill with such smiles on there faces.. & I read on one of these that they even killed a cripple wolve.. oh WOW what a brave hunter to do that.. must have been really hard.. HOPES ... that word is huge.. with all these hunters & Bush Administration not caring HOPE is all the wolves have & people like US that care.. I gave a donation to Defenders .. maybe they will get it yet... I will hope for the best... Wolves are so beautiful..
What nerves me to no end is the hunters don't care what they shoot... even if its cripple (do you know hard it is to get food when you are like that ??) or if they are pregnant or even if they have babys next to them... it gulls me thats all... I am so sorry that the wolves are hunted...

Trophy hunting belongs to the lowest of the low:

New Research Finds Long-Suspected Link Between Hunting and Small Penis Size
Diminutive male genitalia disorder (DMGD) has, until this month, been considered only a theory in the scientific world, but now the long-suspected link between hunting and unusually small penis size has been established as scientific fact by the Diminutive Male Genitalia Disorder Research Organization (DMGDRO). The DMGDRO has conducted an extensive two-year study on men with diminutive male genitalia disorder.

Lead by Mike Streams and Brian Upchurch, who began their collaboration on human sexuality research while undergraduate students at Johns Hopkins University, DMGDRO is a team of New Orleans, Louisiana-based scientists interested in the study of male sexual disorders and dysfunction. Having identified the genetic disorder linking small male reproductive organs and the ability to derive pleasurable sensations from killing in a controlled environment without fear of personal harm (as differentiated from war or fighting back in an attack by a human being), also known as “controlled victim” aggression manifestation, Streams and Upchurch believe that there may be ways to combat men's feelings of inadequacy and curb some of the destructive behaviors that such men engage in as coping mechanisms.

“It's really quite interesting,” Dr. Streams says. “Like much folklore, it appears that, certainly in this case, there is a foundation in fact. This is the first time that research has been conducted on men who hunt, and it shows quite definitively that the link between what we are calling ‘the thrill of the kill' and a smaller-than-average penis is statistically significant."

Initial tests conducted on mice and rabbits proved inconclusive, but subsequent human test subjects showed what Dr. Upchurch calls “staggering results.” The subjects ranged from having a slight abnormality in penis size to a “pubis innyus” or inverted male pubic region. As data were gathered, the numbers revealed a discrepancy so great that it seemed to suggest a genetic mutation. By tracing what has been identified as the “DMGD gene,” an abnormality was discovered on the 21 st chromosome. Further investigation proved that this abnormality is consistently linked to two traits: abnormally small reproductive organs and “controlled victim” aggression manifestation. Drs. Streams and Upchurch and their colleagues theorize that an extreme case of DMGD may have been to blame in the 2004 Sawyer County, Wisconsin, incident in which a hunter went on a rampage, shooting at a group of other hunters and killing six of them.

Reaction from participants has been positive, and subjects described the results as liberating and a relief to finally be able to label their problem as a legitimate medical disorder.

Dr. Upchurch reports, “The first step in the treatment of a disorder is to understand its origins. We are pleased to have crossed that important threshold.”

It's always seemed odd to me that humans feel the need to manage animal populations so ruthlessley, yet we manage to expand our kind without regard to anything else, at a rate nature surely did not intend. Sadly noted...

There seems to be some primevilthing about wolves. All the children stories, Red Riding Hood, heading the list, make this poor creature out be naturally mean and bad. Maybe those old time stories have taken root in the minds of people and we now view the wolf as enemy No.1 Its just a carnivore,like any other. Yet the white man seems to have some sort of ativistic hatred towards this animal. It needs looking into Natives of any country where there are wolves live in harmony with wolves. So what gives?
