How Wolves Change Rivers

Man should nuke the whole area and turn it to glass and show them who the boss is.

Great video! Never would have imagined wolves could make such an impact. However this makes me sad as it reminds me how much us humnas are ruining that precious balance of ecosystems that is so important.

The Canadian Gray Wolf is an invasive species. The native timber wolf was much smaller and not as deadly.

This invasive species is destroying our deer, elk, and even wildcat populations.

The purpose of releasing this invasive species is not to balance nature. It's to make nature a hostile place for mankind. In other words, they brought them in to eat YOU!

There are many people who are promising to shoot any of this invasive species that they see on sight. All I can do is applaud and hope they follow the 3 S's. (SHOOT, SHOVE, AND SHUT UP!)

what a wonderful world we live in

Do either of you have any idea how rare wolf attacks on humans are, and how especially rare fatalities are?

Apparently not, judging from your comments.

Please do some simple research/investigating before claiming that there's a 'conspiracy' is to use wolf populations to harm humans or to steer humans into urban environments.

You are fucking idiots.

Low IQ inbred fuck ups laughed at by the whole world.

I work on ranches and farms around these areas.

The Timber Wolf was common before fuck up like you arrived in North America right on down to Mexico. lol

Fucking retards.

Of course I will shoot anything that comes against livestock but I won't spout nonsense about what I kill.

fuck off retards.

Totally wrong. Wolves are not man eaters by nature. There has only been one verified case of wolves killing a person ever. It did happen in Canada though. More people are killed by common dogs each year than by wolves.

Unfortunately your posts confirm you haven't done any serious investigating into the subject matter or else you never would have proposed the ridiculous 'conspiracy' that you did and made such uninformed statements....

Michelle Dennehy, a spokeswoman for the state’s Department of Fish and Wildlife, spoke some about those risks.

"Wolves have attacked and killed people in Canada and Alaska," Dennehy told The Oregonian. "It is extremely rare and has never happened in the Rocky Mountain states, but we advise people to keep your distance from wolves and any wild animals."

-----
Dennehy pointed us to a 2002 report from the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research called "The fear of wolves: A review of wolf attacks on humans."

Because "the vast majority" of global wolf research happens in North America, the report says, wolf attacks in Canada and the U.S. have been extremely well documented. That documentation -- and the fact that attacks are so rare -- allowed the authors to detail every attack in the past century.

All told, the study’s authors found 18 wolf attacks in North America -- 12 in Canada and six in the U.S. Of the attacks in the U.S., four occurred in Alaska (as did an unspecified number of small incidents along a road where truckers had taken to feeding the wolves) and two in Minnesota, in which the victims weren’t injured. Two of the attacks in Alaska left the victim dead of rabies. Both of those happened in the 1940s.

-----------------------------------------------------------
​

So as of 2002 there were only 18 documented wolf attacks in North America over the course of 100 years. Just 6 in documented in the United States. Only 2 fatalities from rabbies.

Can you remind everyone again how dangerous the wolf population is and how we need to shoot and kill them all? What would you calculate are the statistical odds of a person being attacked by a wolf in North America based on only 18 documented cases over the span of 100 years? 0.000000001%?

Rare fatality

It was the first fatal wolf attack in Alaska, and only the second documented case of a wild wolf killing a human in North America. There are an estimated 60,000 to 70,000 wolves in North America, including 7,700 to 11,200 in Alaska.


--------------------------

ONE documented wolf attack fatality in Alaska's state history?

And estimated 60 to 70 thousand wolves in North America at the present time and we only have 2 to 4 documented cases of fatalities from wolf attacks and less than 50 documented cases of attacks over the course of a century?

Here was the other 'extremely rare' fatal wolf attack that occurred in 2005:

(2005)
SASKATOON -- A coroner's inquest has found that Ontario student Kenton Carnegie was killed by a pack of wolves in northern Saskatchewan two years ago, making it the first documented case of fatal wolf attack in the wild in North America.

The only known previous fatal wolf attack in North America over the last 100 years occurred in 2005, when a young geology student was attacked and partially eaten by a pack of wolves in northern Saskatchewan.

There you have it. You can count the number of documented fatal wolf attacks over the last 100 years on one hand and the number of documented non-fatal attacks is less than 50... They have been appropriately labeled by ecologists as 'extremely rare'....

40-100 people die in North America each year from insect stings alone....

2-4 deaths over 100 years and you want to eradicate an entire species from our borders? Tell us again how a species that has only accounted for a handful of deaths over 100 years is going to be used as part of a conspiracy to herd the domestic population?

You are extremely misinformed. This is a fine example of the height of human ignorance - believing that we can just start eradicating species that play a vital role in maintaining the health & balance of our ecosystem without causing any substantial damage to the environment and disruption to the critical balance of the ecosystem.

And you have the nerve to sit there and label preservation of a species that plays an important role in the ecosystem's food chain as 'libtardism' and 'gaia worship'? LOL.... But by all means, continue on parroting inaccurate stereotypes, spreading misinformed 'conspiracies', and displaying the same human ignorance and macho 'shoot, kill, and pillage whatever we want to' attitude that has contributed to the sorry state of affairs we are faced with today.

It's abundantly clear that the vast majority of humans know next to nothing about the nature of wolves and continue to subscribe to stereotypes, misconceptions, and harbor emotional reactions instilled from children's fairytales....

That made me wanna cry...what are we doing to this world...cement and asphalt hell. WHO CARES ABOUT YOUR FUCKING JOB! NOBODY CARES HOW MUCH YOU HAVE! Worthless bunch of ego driven assholes the lot of Humanity.

Really struck a chord.

Those people are compensated but they must protect their livestock in areas where wolves are present and they all know that.

For you people who can think there's some evidence. Don't listen to people who have fucking animal avatars. Of course they're going to tell you some fudge-packing lie like wolves don't thrill-kill, spreading disease, or learn to prey on humans through being bred by government handlers and released into the wild. One pack is a murder-machine, then they breed and multiply, but it's not single packs that are being released it's something like 300 wolves off the bat just in Arizona and New Mexico. They aren't the native wolves that were in the U.S. they're 6-foot 150lb. werewolf looking hybrids. The same government that's stockpiling ammo to kill dissidents is releasing these foreign wolves into the forests to keep you out and kill enough wildlife so you can't live off the land. Why are all the wolf furries city-dwelling cocksuckers?

So these government-bred human killing wolves you warn of have managed to kill just 2 humans in all of North America since the 1940's? Whatever will the human population do to combat this dire threat?

:sarcasm1:

Why couldn't you refute the information documenting the actual nature of 'surplus' killing as well as the fact that wolves have been observed to return to consume their kills/prey anywhere from a few days to up to 3 weeks when HUMANS don't show up to scare them away from the area?

Also, why did you use the term 'thrill kill' when that is slang terminology that was specifically created to describe a human motivation for premeditated murder?



More misinformation:

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

In March 1998, this reintroduction campaign began with the releasing of three packs into the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest in Arizona, and eleven wolves into the Blue Range Wilderness Area of New Mexico.[1] Today, there may be up to 50 wild Mexican wolves in Arizona and New Mexico. The final goal for Mexican wolf recovery is a wild, self-sustaining population of at least 100 individuals.[2]

NO, they certainly did not release 300 wolves into the environment in these two states at once. Either you suck at reading comprehension or you are deliberately spreading unsubstantiated bullshit.

WIN!

Your stats are worthless.
First they ignore per capita information.
One human kill by wolves where one person was in
the wolf territory would mean wolves kill humans
100 percent of the time.

Further, Native Americans, homesteaders, trappers,
and Eskimos DO NOT REPORT SQUAT. Especially to government
resources who are considered an invading enemy into their
habitats.

Ranchers do not report wolf attacks. They shoot, shutup
and shovel if they want to stay in business.

Reintroduction of the wolf into todays human population
distribution was an equally bad idea to introducing Obama
as faux president.

And we have to listen to a Brit yammering about the wonders
of American habitat? Since they killed off all their large
predators centuries ago, what would they know?

Brilliant, thank you for sharing...

Wolves also help reduce disease amongst Deer and Buffalo populations by killing off the weak and sickly, thus promoting stronger gene pools. Then we have too many damn car crashes Deer that have shit response times and that's not just because of the lights,... Why?? BECUASE THEY HAVE NO PREDITORS i.e. NO FEAR OF DANGER. I few times I was able to walk right up to the stupid docile things.

We NEED the wolf to complete North Americas ecosystem. period. This isn't Gaia shit, this is the truth of a dying planet. No amount of uneducated fear-based responses will ever change the facts.

That would only be true if Yellowstone was a fenced in park but its not. The animals are free to leave the Parks Zone anytime they like.

Conclusion: deer are assholes

Sometimes (now more often than not) since BP and the hundreds of deregulated assaults happening 24/7 365, the more reverence and pure awe I feel the more numb in response I become.

Nowhere to run. Just being truthful. :(

There is only two factors that govern a wild animal’s thought processes.

Is it food?
Is it a threat?

If it doesn’t see you as a threat, and doesn’t see you as food, then it will ignore you.
If it sees you as a threat, but doesn’t see you as food, then it will avoid you.
If it does see you as food, and a threat, then it will still try to eat you if it thinks it’s got the upper hand.
If it just sees you as food, then you will be food.

The only reason the wolves haven’t prayed on humans is because they haven’t figured out we are food yet.

Once a pack figures out that we are just big walking sacks of food, then it’s going to get interesting. If they are lucky they will kill the pack before too many people die. If they are unlucky, the other groups of wolves will learn off the first pack and then all of them will make that startling realization. Then you will truly have a living hell on your hands.


The environmentalists are truly playing with fire. And they have no historical perspective to govern their actions. The S### is going to get real pretty soon.

I showed that two wolves recently killed 176 sheep in one night.

Actually you're right it's not that 300 were released at once. I sat in a county meeting with a Federal representative and I remember what she said was that they had 300 wolves tagged in the AZ-NM area, but she also admitted that the Forest Service isn't able to tag all the wolves, or even identify them all as the Forest Service only sees them from a distance and it's hard to tell a wolf from a coyote many times. So the 300 number is an understatement. It's not known how many wolves are actually in that area, but it's over 300.

Did you know that wolves can change rivers?


** just a reminder.

Keep it pinned...forever.

Fascinating stuff
