They can control with seasons and limits how many can be taken legally, and when. Same as any other animal.They can't contoll how many or how often people hunt.
In that case, why does it matter to you if it is legal or not?If a hunter wants to kill a wolf, then they will.

It usually depends on the size of the farm. A large farm, yes, they tend to think of their animals in an impersonal fashion and more of a cash crop. However, the small farmers usually think of their livestock more of an extended family.BlackWolfDS wrote:Is it me, or is money always part of the problem? The farmers only care about the cows becuase of the money they bring in. I swear money is the root of all evil.
But then again, the only way to live in this crazy world of ours, is to make money, even at the expense of others. *Sigh*
I was refering to the large business farms. But since we are the typic of the types of farms I have to ask (even though it maybe a stupid question): Who wants the wolves gone more? The Business farmers or the Small farmers?Ashkin-Tyr wrote: It usually depends on the size of the farm.

I would beleive big buisness would want them gone more. Big Buisness sees them as a threat, and wants them eliminated. Small Family farms would probably not mind them unless the wolves bothered them first. Big Buisness only cares for money, and if there is threat to them making more, theywill eliminate it.BlackWolfDS wrote: Who wants the wolves gone more? The Business farmers or the Small farmers?
I don't think killing is the greatest way to go. Wolves are endangered, are they not? And instead of killing off the wolves in the "over populated area", I think they should be relocated to other places where the wolves have been wiped out. I know, I know, relocating is expensive, but it would stop the decline of the wolf population and it would save the farmer's money...er i mean cows from hungary wolves.Cavman wrote: Personaly, I'm with the moderates on this. Limited legal hunting. When humas move into an are, WE tend to replace things.We replace herbivors with our live stock, and predators with ourselves.
