To bad, I've had many wolf hybreds and near pure wolfs and there the best critters I've ever had. I'm 100% aginst trapping of any kind except for survival. For me that is one of the hunting opertunities that could be done away with and it wouldn't bother me one bit. Tough if they take a few calfs or sheep, they were here long before us and there an important part of the natral eco-systems checks and balances that help keep the rest of the system in balance and other species populations healthy. I'm sure there are areas that do need some culling due to overpopulation but I really hate to see such an important species that just came off the endangered list to be hunted, other areas could benifit greatly by there relocation to those areas if culling is required.

From what I've been told, these things are presenting a HUGE problem in some areas.
