Oooops, lost the last line, there.

Because, of course, elsewhere wolves, deer, elk, etc., all keep to the roads. You fail to make your case because Alaskans don’t hunt the animals they actually eat from the air. Lack of roads doesn’t seem to stop them from taking caribou, elk and moose.

You do make two valid points. Wolves are still endangered and require protection. And of course, they’re predators. The negative effects of predator suppression on prey species have been documented for decades. When there are no predators to cull out the weak and the sick, prey species expand beyond the carrying capacity of their habitat, and then you have a prey species crash. In Alaska, where there is a significant amount of subsistence hunting, especially among Alaska Natives such as the Gwitchi’in people, that could lead to human as well as ecological disaster.

Sorry, but I don’t think greed for hunting tourism dollars is more important than

Thanks for that dose of reality. The people who were attacking Palin for Alaska’s preditor population control policies are irrational. Along with the facts that you have mentioned it is important to note that wolves are at the top of the food chain and have no animal preditors. After bring on a protected list animals like wolves often have too much of a population boom and then need to be controlled for various reasons including public safety.
Peta even attacked Obama for killing a fly during an interview.

Up until now, the only way I knew how to cut and paste was with a scissors and glue.
