Just like our forefathers did.

    Thousands of years ago, wolves were prey to to other now extinct animals, and their numbers were kept in check. Man took over that role starting probably 10,000 years ago until recently. Wolves have always had to breed prolifically to survive. Their predators are gone, but their reproductive rate is still very high. If we allow them to become overpopulated, they will eat every single deer, moose, elk, and caribou within a few short years. Other great predators like puma, lynx, bobcat, and bear will also suffer because of wolf overpopulation.

Not saying everything will go extinct, but canids breed so prolifically and successfully that they will put extreme pressure on vulnerable species if their numbers are allowed to go unchecked. Who knows how many extinct species went extinct because of an unusual boom in the wolf population? Some want wolves completely untouched, and others want them completely gone. I'm in the middle, believing that populations have to be kept very low to allow native prey species to maintain historic and prehistoric levels.

    Northern Wisconsin use to have a healthy deer population. Now that we have wolves, deer hunters are seeing more wolves than deer.

Wolves are fine by me, just as long as they are kept in check just like deer, turkeys, ducks, geese, coyotes, elk, etc.

      The wolf will not eat itself out of food. It is far wiser about what it needs than we are and fooling ourselves into thinking that we know best will only lead to another species being wiped out. Try reading a bit about ecosystems that were dying and by reintroducing the wolf those ecosystems are healthy and surviving. I hunt deer, but I also understand and appreciate the balance that nature has between predators and prey. Remove the wolf and you destroy an ecosystem.

      I agree completely, we pushed the wolves into these areas to cut down on our livestock losses, but now, the large amounts of predators are going into areas that were once not nearly as densley populated with predators, this makes a problem and we need to cull the wolf poulation down, so that both populatios can thrive. Thats how nature works, but when we intervene, we can't do a half job ad ruin the ecosystem, we have to mae it balanced again, and to all of you who will say why did the wolves get pushed there? Its called expansion and population growth, and until people stop having children, which I am totaly not recommending, we will keep growing and pushing other animals out of their habitats and into others habitats.

    From BC to the Yukon, The wolves are having a devastating effect on animals that people need to live everyday. Subsistence living by many tribes is in danger of becoming a thing of the past. Meaning people will have to leave their ancient homes and hunting grounds because the wolf packs are getting too big. Caribou and Moose populations have dropped down to almost nothing causing tribes to have to travel farther and farther, with no guarantee of being able to feed their families. Add to that the overfishing by Commercial fleets and fisherman for Salmon is indeed troubling. Where do these people turn for help? A way of life will soon be a thing of the past. Once subsistence living is wiped out, it will never return!

    Wolves now have a super highway to their prey, thanks to man. A journey which would take a pack, several days to complete, now takes several hours. Prey species have no time to recover, or move on; the wolves a right there with them, decimating their numbers. It’s solely due to man’s interference, that these wolves are now in danger. Logging roads, recreational trails, snow mobiles etc, have created these super highways, making it so easy for wolves to hunt, anything, and everything. The wolf population needs to be managed, if true diversity to remain.

    Quebec did the same thing as B.C. is now doing, but perhaps not on the same scale. Habitat loss is the primary reason Caribou are disappearing. You cannot give out cutting permits right and left on the forests which the Caribou need to use to survive. I witnessed little calves with heavy collars put around their necks, just stumbling around after their mothers here in Quebec. In B.C from the air and from the water, I saw fringes of trees left standing along the highways, but behind vast amounts of clear cutting was taking place. Habitat loss is the greatest threat to Caribou and both governments know it, but the scapegoat, as usual, are the predators.

      Survival of the fittest is appropriate here. It will make the remaining caribou evolve (over a long period of time of course) to outrun the wolves and the wolves will, in turn, evolve to catch them again. That is nature's course. Human intervention severely limits that.

    Some of those wolves have been introduced into the Western States of the U.S. and they have exploded in number and are at this moment decimating the Elk and Deer populations in Montana, Wyoming and everywhere else they have introduced the Canadian wolf population over here in this country. You ask any hunter in the western states how much the species that was introduced in their areas have affected their numbers of large game animals and you will find an almost total agreement that the species should never have been brought into the U.S. They are not indigenous to that area to begin with so in essence the Gov't. entity that did it was breaking both Federal and State laws about introducing invasive species into this country. They need to control an apex predator when they start getting out of hand and now it's not just the wildlife but the ranchers and farmers are starting to pay for the bad judgement.

    Wolves need management. I am in no way saying wipe them out no and if you want to wipe them out I don’t associate myself with you. However like all animals sometimes things get out of hand and the balance of nature gets out of hand. Human visitation has helped wolf numbers for years and as a results the population is thriving but at the cost of the Caribou. Just like how when coyote populations threaten the deer this needs to be addressed.

    How old is the this planet? We are obviously not looking at history. For 10’s of thousands of years and even longer, I’m sure all these animals survived. And there was no modern day conservation agencies 20,000 years ago. Modern day humans get so stressed out over nature that is much more older than they are. It’s as if they are discovering a new problem that has never existed before. I think humans are the problem!

      The problem is humans are building everywhere and there's not enough land for everything now so it ain't like it was 20,000 years ago so they need management

    Let the animals sort it out on their own. They've been fending for themselves for thousands of years. Wolves are apex predators who kill off sick, weak and old members of deer herds, helping to keep the populations healthy... Do you think it may be possible that they know something about the herds of caribou that we don't....maybe there is something wrong with the herds of caribou in the Northeast BC and the wolves are just sorting it, as they've been doing for a millennia.

      exactly - animals have been sorting it out for thousands of years... that's how God created it... humans were supposed to manage the ecosystem - but our greed and lust destroyed it instead.

      Unfortunately, the weakest members of an ungulate herd are the young, and the wolves have been doing this for many thousands of years.
