Timberbeast and Losthlegend are right on the money.
I'm a retired police officer and have hunted all my life.
I was born in Peoples Republik of New Jersey and got out as soon as I was able to when I was in my twenties ... PRNJ and the former eastern Communist bloc are one and the same, just like the average brutal communist regime. Just start verbally talking about guns there and all of a sudden you have swarming cop problems. Its so bad that the FBI doesn't even like working there; they prefer other Field Offices.
YES, "wolves" in Peoples Republik of New Jersey wear suits and uniforms.
I moved to and lived in Alaska for 19 years...hunted and called wolves and I know what I'm talking about. Wolves are like Jaws, 'cept Jaws is in the ocean and Wolves are on the land ... 1500 lbs. per sq. inch jaw strength. They belong in Alaska, not here in Wyoming or Anywhere in the West or Lower 48 ...only in Alaska. And YES, they attack humans; nothing new at all, but Very "politically incorrect" of course.
Wolves kill for the FUN OF IT. Its so disgustingly common to see cow moose on the south facing slopes in the spring get torn open and killed by wolves ... the wolves will rip her open, kill both her and the fetus, and LEAVE WITHOUT EATING ANYTHING. They'll run caribou across a frozen lake, each wolf taking a turn and as the Caribou tire, jump up alongside and rip the Caribou's hanging tongue out until it bleeds out and drops.
The above photos of the Wolves taking down the moose..and the pack gorging on it...I have the 8X10 color photo set of that incident which was north of the Mat-Su valley...it was taken by helicopter (Alaska F&G biologist) and the photos are timestamped/marked. In One Hour you can see bones of the moose from initial time of attack.
In sub zero temps, a large adult Wolf will enjoy over 20 lbs. of hot steaming meat in a day, as they burn and require a LOT of calories.
"Game Laws" and liberal tree-huggin' anti-constitutional judges (like the one on Montana who closed the Wyoming wolf season)? (It is ALSO a State's Rights Issue)... Welll...look at it this way ... What if all of a sudden Al Quida operatives and released terrorists from Gitmo were imported and allowed to suddenly live in YOUR neighborhood, amid YOUR family and Your way of life? ....and they were Protected by law??
And extreme example, Yes ... but there is a point there.
They belong in Alaska ... not here in the West.
Elks makes excellent points also ... The Wolves are no joke.
