If you go about outdoors, you should arleady have a large calibur handgun. Not for Wolves though, you actually need it for Bears, Cougars and most of all for fucked up people.
Wolves do not attack human beings. This is a myth and it is big part of why man has nearly wiped out the Wolves in our race to totally fuck up this planet. I am working with a group to get the Grey Wolf re introduced into Washington State. our governor is is supportive as are most people. The only resistance comes from the ranchers.
In Arizona, there has been a slow, but successful re introduction of the Mexican Wolf in the White Mountains.
I fully understand their position, but up here, there is enough wilderness area in the Cascades to accommodate both the wolf and man. The Wolf preservation group I work with also raises money that will be used to compensate a rancher who looses any livestock to a wolf attack.
In Montana, it is the Grizzly that is the ranchers` biggest head aches, not the Wolves. I love the short sighted foolishness of people. It is our urban sprawl and over population that is the problem. We spread across the land like a cancer and wildlife`s environment shrinks. Predators like this are being encroached upon and it creates conflict. Rather than be responsible to the planet, our answer has always been to wipe other species out.
Because of us, the planet is experiencing species loss at a rate much greater than the extinction rate 65 million years ago when the dinosaurs all bought the farm. We are the problem, not the Wolves!
