Put my vote in for ya cap. I loved some of the comments from the readers. I guess I have a few of my own,

"Delisting the wolf means taking it off the Federal Endangered Species List.  And that would put control of the gray wolf it in the hands of the DNR."
If michigans DNR is anything like ours,  Rectorial question by the way, But IT would be a start, to what I don't know, but we/you do need to find out.
 Dr. Rolf Peterson, Research Professor of Wildlife Ecology at Michigan Tech University.  "Killing a dog is very different from harming a person.  Wolves know the difference.  No, I don't regard the woods as an unsafe place."
The good Perfeser needs to get out in the woods a little more, sitting on his throne amongst his own kind has made him delerious and out of touch.
  "In fact, we're right where we should be:  "Six hundred to 1200 wolves in the U.P.  We're at 600 now, so I would expect them to keep going up for awhile...but not forever."
   Along with the current administration, and this wack job, we can truly see where we are headed, and
right now it aint lookin' so good.

Saw on bloodbrothers.com a trail cam pic of a wolf with mange. Shows that over population will take care of itself. I'm sure there will be more with mange. Might wipe out whole packs too and do more harm to their numbers than hunting them.

If you want to make fun of others, please consult with a literate person first.  You are embarassing the rest of us with your ignorant comments and poor spelling.

Why not just comment on the topic of the post? All you have done here is attack a poster and have added nothing to the discussion.

Because this poster has provided nothing beyond personal attacks on the good "perfeser"

Next time your having tea with the good doctor, give him my best, won't you.

 "THEY KNOW THE DIFFERENCE" ? Yes, intelligence personified. CRASH87

According to Dr. Rolf Peterson, "Killing a dog is very different from harming a person.  Wolves know the difference."

mogwai, How do you think Dr. Peterson discovered that wolves know the difference between killing a dog and harming a person? Are we supposed to take that comment seriously?

If you don't, then you have seriously understimated the learning abilities of wolves.  There is good evidence that they won't approach humans when they have a pattern of being killed by people.  When they are not killed by people, wolves will learn to view us as prey. 

Dogs are always competitors for wolves, regardless of the details of dog ownership.

Think about these simple facts, digest them in your LEFT_RIGHT political world, and get back to us.

Simple Facts? In whose mind are these simple facts? I see no proof, only opinion.  Please post your "good evidence"  on what you have stated in your text from above.

Political World? What do you mean by that? I have not mentioned or discussed politics. Are you serious here or are you just jerking my bobber? I'm just trying understand statements made that are opinion based only and are being presented as facts. Unless Dr. Peterson has a wolf named Mr. Ed that can communicate with him verbally, I see this all as conjecture. Who was it that said, "Don't let the facts get in the way of telling a good story."

I'm not sure, but I like that saying.
