Re: Reader, fwd: 'How Wolves Change Rivers'

I know everyone loves this video but not all that glitters is gold.

I was born and raised in Montana and have spent lots of time around Yellowstone. Wolves are predators and they are at the top of the food chain ..... meaning nothing keeps them in check. They also do not stay within the park ... they range once they have wiped out their food source. Packs mark their territory and when things get crowded they go other places to find their food source.

In the west they have wiped out entire herds of elk. They kill for sport leaving uneaten carcasses of elk where they killed them. A delicacy for the wolf are unborn calves .... they kill the cow pull the calf from the womb and that is all that is eaten.

Sorry I am not a promoter of the wolf ... in manageable numbers ok but these rabid environmentalists have gone over board as usual and sacrificed the elk for the wolf. I would choose the majestic elk any day of the week.
