Vicious predator like wolves? They are part of a naturally functioning ecosystem. They have a place in this world and have a role to fill. Think of what some of their natural prey is. Hint - we have plenty of them in Wake county, and they have 4 legs and a white tail.

You have to be in an ivory tower so tall that you are oxygen deprived to introduce a vicious predator like wolves. We have little boys and girls that are totally removed from reality running the place.

"How lame. Eat the dead wolf and then I'll agree with you."

You missed the point.

I am in full agreement, if its some animal or my son.... the animal or human is going down ! But now a days ( since we all don't live in a little house on the prairie )... children are at home, in bed getting ready for school or work. So really... dont use protection as an excuse to just hunt what ever!
