for all the people agahst at my comments on wolves curbing the populations of other predators....sorry folks its true. the wolf by its pack nature was an apex predator on the level of the grizzly bear. they can eat cougar and bear young. even a mother bear could not protect more than one cub from a whole pack of wolves. thats one of the draw backs to the yellowstone re-introduction is that the re-introd wolves are young and agro and have killed off much of the parks coyote population.


i am not saying that a lone wolf will attack a cougar or bear at all. in fact a cougar killed one of the re-intro'd mexican wolves in arizona two years ago.

the problem with wolves and humans is that they are so much alike. most wolf researchers come to the conclusion that humans, subconciously are envious of wolves. that they are smart and caring and still live in contact and balance with nature.....we humans are more and more being forced to live false and unfulfilling lives working at jobs to produce junk.....thats why we are addicted to things like fishing...even if too release the fish..... cuz we desire to be in contact with the wild world, and to live as we are meant to


isnt this all getting a bit carried away... cats will like fish with or without hound hunting. we are so out of balanced with nature that a cat wanting a fish scares us. and we are the fishermen who are out in nature. if i see a cougar it is a great day.

sorry if i pissed every one off by calling driftboater a crybaby but a dozen posts blaming animal rights activists for everything is a little much. environmentalists are doing more to protect our fisheries than any sportfishing group on this planet.
