Who are these people? Has anyone seen the commercials trying to stop the current bill to allow limited wolf hunting?
The false facts they are trying to push are absolutely ridiculous! I have no personal interest in whether or not the population of wolves is far too high or too low, but I do know that a limited wolf harvest won’t adversely affect their population.
Sorry for the misspell on the original title. Dang fruit phone!
But the pups are being poached!!
I took a double take when I saw it the other day. Forgot to check it out. 
Why didn’t they show pictures like this? 
I would venture to Guess that the driving force of people supporting this DO NOT live in wolf Country and have no idea what reality is.
Typical Viewpoint is: “I have my mind made up, do not confuse me with the facts”
I have a question about one of the facts in the commercial.
They state that half of the wolf pups starve to death.
Isn’t this starving to death indicative of overpopulation?
And therefore provide incentive for population control to ensure survival of the species.

Mine thoughts exactly… I seen the commercial last night and thought… “do they really want MORE wolves losing half their pups, cause there is not enough food ?” but was too lazy to write a post at the time… 
I would love to ask some howling idiot their logic on that fact …??? 
Man, they should just go to a basketball game 
X3 when I heard the starvation thing. I don’t understand why you need a 5 year moratorium. When the wolves were on the endangered list there was no studying going on?
From their website mission page. An excerpt from a letter written by a MN National Audubon Society member.
Quote:
The 2001 legislature passed a law based on the DNR Wolf Management Plan developed as a result of the Roundtable that specified no general public take of wolves (ie hunting or trapping) for a five year period following delisting. In addition, this thorough management plan calls for: population monitoring that includes determination of human-caused mortality, population management that calls for a continued expansion of wolf populations (establishing a minimum population of 1600, but no maximum), a comprehensive wolf damage management program (including state-administered certified predator controllers), strong enforcement of the law with fines (up to $3000) and restitution for illegal killing (up to $2000), information and educational programs, and at least five dedicated DNR wolf program staff: two in program direction and research, and three in enforcement. Audubon members believe that this balanced plan should be implemented in full, for five years, prior to the commencement of a general public take of wolves.
You’d think if there was actually a law passed, someone would have filed a lawsuit many months ago.
If the National Audubon Society is for it, I’m against it.
(fish passageway fiasco)
plus i read somewhere that if the hunting season passes the tribes are going to file a federal lawsuit to stop it. 
if there a sovergn nation how can they file a lawsuit outside there little nation??????
Just wait until Chris Granrud gets TV in the Falls. He will be all over this! 
Maybe it’s the Indian tribes putting these on tv. A smoke and mirrors thing so we are distracted while netting season is going on.
Oh yeah, I keep forgetting that the wolf season is not law until the F&G bill is signed off on. Then the court papers start getting filed.
They have a facebook page you guys should post your questions and comments there, I did.

im down in southern minnesota so i dont know what kind of problems landowners face up where there is a population up north. Wolves are really cool animals, i would like to see them around down here. What do they do that make all you guys wanna get rid of them?
Just curious! i dont wanna start some riot, just would like to know
Nobody wants to get rid of them. We just want them managed like all big game. If man (and cars) are hunting their primary prey like deer, then they need to be managed too. Because during times when food gets scarce for them, that is when we will run into problems, not only for man, but for the wolves too. They will starve and also be susceptible to disease.
Exactly, no one is asking to exterminate the wolves. We simply want to maintain a healthy population.

Its funny how PETA types like to think of hunters as unintelligent, blood thirsty people. Yet, hunters are talking conservation. They make themselves look so unintelligent when they freaking paint the picture of a wolf being some loveable, cute little puppy.
In one of my comments over there I asked them to please refrain from the personification of wolves. “…intelligent, social and sensitive creatures…”. Freaking makes me want to puke. And how exactly is a wolf sensitive?
Me thinks this little non-profit is not going to get very far…unless organizations they friended like PETA get involved.

Mike I realy like this reply hope you do not mind I posted it on FB.
Man is a hunter and a meat eater, period. No way around it, just like the wolf. We compete for the same food source, deer, cattle, moose etc… in order to have balance, there needs to be a season. Nobody wants to “get rid” of wolves (minus maybe a farmer that loses livestock every week to them) but that is the message that the howlers like to spread around….
Besides…. who hasn’t heard the story about what happened to Little Red Riding Hood ????

No problem! I don’t expect any pictures or words I post on the internet to be “owned” by me, so to speak.
So, you think that is how they envisioned their FB social marketing campaign going? Us IDOers have owned the conversation. Love to see them respond and not delete.

Absolutely! 
I would love to take some of these people to Fairbanks MN and see the deer and moose kills left be by wolves! These woods are almost devoid of anything with hooves now! I have heard nothing about trapping, have any of you? I have heard that there will be a set number of permits available. Right? Come out of the closet DNR and set the record straight please and shut these nare-do-wells up!
Chris you should post this reply on there facebook page.
Thanks for the link. Their facebook page has been very entertaining to read.
Help me out guys. I went to the Facebook page and clicked on recent posts by others so I could respond to the naive and misinformed comments being made. I guess I know now why people hate timelines on Facebook. I didn’t see all these comments before, nor do I know where they are on Howling For Wolves FB.
Do I have to have my own FB page to read their page? I haven’t signed up for FB yet and don’t really want to but would like to see their page. I’m waiting for FB to get realy popular then I might join…
DT
I believe you do.
