The Wolf Effect
The Wolf Effect

I am on the farmers’ side. As a farmer, I would not want any wolfs harming my animals. Farmers have large amounts of animals that give milk or have meat. During the winter these animals are more likely to be harmed because of weather conditions and animal struggles such as sickness or basically being really cold. Wolfs will attack more during the winter; therefore farmers will lose more animals. Losing a few animals would make a difference and farmers would not be okay with it, especially because wolfs attack in packs to stay strong together against his weak animals. Wolfs are likely to come back and harm the animals. One thing for sure is that the wolfs will effect farmers financially.
In some states, you are not able to kill a wolf unless it is threatening a human life. In other states, you are able to kill a wolf if it is trying to kill a household pet or livestock. Otherwise you will have to make a big fence around your farm to try and keep wolfs off and away. If you kill a wolf breaking the law, you would have to pay a really big fine and get jail time.
If I was a farmer it would be very frustrating dealing with wolfs. I wouldn’t want to deal with them knowing it is going to be hard throughout the season of winter and other seasons. I would rather not have wolfs around. Farmers are trying to make money and raise animals for their own business. Wolfs are just interfering and causing problems. Wolfs are just going to have to go. I agree with the farmer and understand why he does not want wolfs and are against them.

    As stated earlier, the 2004-2005 survey conducted by the Wisconsin DNR showed that 52 percent of Wisconsin citizens do not support compensation for hounds, yet the money from these citizens is still used to provide compensation to the hunter. The same survey discovered that 81 percent of landowners that live near wolf packs would participate in a program in which they are given a monetary incentive to protect wolves, which would offset the risks they face and compensate them for any potential animal losses. This proves that wolves are not the problem; the problem is how the compensation is funded and handled. During the 2012 Wisconsin wolf hunting season, the compensation for dog depredations was provided through wolf application fees instead of taxpayer dollars. Managing the wolf population not only involves hunting, but also dealing with the consequences and side effects of having a wolf population in the state of Wisconsin. The money that was earned from wolf hunting application fees during 2012 was used directly to compensate hunters for wolves that caused them problems, which was a much more beneficial management…

    One of many reasons the B.C wolf cull should continue is because the caribou population is intensely decreasing and wolves are the cause. The wolf population is not endangered and do not have predators which will affect the food chain negatively. In this case, shortening the wolf species would not impact their population greatly. For instance, in B.C 15 of 31 caribou herds are threatened (Government of B.C, no date) and the number will quickly increase if nothing is done to the wolves. If no action is taken place in order to save the caribou, it will be too late and canadas _______animal will soon be extinct. This important because having a steady, controlled cull saves both species from over exploitation and endangerment.…

    And when food becomes scarce, wolves will scavenge and often eat animals that have died due to other causes. Wolves usually hunt in packs but they usually do not attack right away when the prey is still at its strongest. Wolves aren't able to kill their victims quickly; so they continue chasing the animal until it dies of shock or muscle damage. It isn't rare for a wolf to get injured by flailing hooves of thrashing antlers. A well placed kick could break a wolf’s jaw making it unable to eat. They find it much more convenient to chase from a distance until the prey tires out. Each hunt is masterfully planned and is a coordinated group…

    one way to stop this is by forming a law on it being illegal to kill wolves. By this would prevent farmers from killing and being fined for doing so for example if a farmer where to kill one he will be fined a large price for killing the animal. Second way is by moving the wolf population away from farms and far away. By this if their still close to the kaibab but away from the farmers livestock will keep both sides happy. Third way is by adding hunters to kill of kaibab lowering the population. For this will make no need for wolves keeping them away from the livestock and both the over population problem and the killing of livestock will be solved.…

The other viewpoint are the environmental groups that were trying to keep the gray wolf on the list by suing or…

    Is it possible the wolves made a change in the environment when they were almost completely wiped-out? Did reintroducing them back into existence turn the fate of the ecosystem around? Sure it is possible it happened that way. And while we are at it why don’t we bring back the Mammoths they were here before us, or better yet their closest cousin the elephant and let’s see what kind of change that makes to the ecosystem. It is my opinion that wolvers are ready to be placed on the fair game list to control their increase in…

    In addition to eliminating weak members of elk herds, hence strengthening the heard as a whole, wolves keep herds on the move and maintain the balance of the herd in reform to the fragile wilderness. In moving the herd frequently, wolves preserve groves of aspens and other smooth-barked trees, improving the stability of the ground and preventing damaging erosion, especially near river and stream banks essential for the survival of fish, beavers, and even aquatic-oriented birds. An imbalance in the wolf population has repercussions on the entire ecosystem, ranging from the more easily seen populations of elk to the more blurred effects on fish and expanding even further to animals who depend on fish, ultimately affecting even markets in our economy. This “trophic cascade,” named by biologists and ecologists, have a wide array of repercussions which can occasionally be irreversible. Entire populations can easily be wiped clear from existence, giving way to a devastating mudslide of devastation and a whole new era of demanding complications. In a field study, Ecologist William Ripple and his Oregon State University colleague Robert Beschta reported that “within three years after wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park elk populations fell, pockets of trees and shrubs began rebounding. Beavers returned, coyote numbers dropped and habitat flourished for fish and birds.” And yet, people…

    “ 61 people have been killed by black bears while hundreds of black bears have been killed by hunters in New Jersey” Does the bear hunt really matter that much? The bear hunt isn’t necessary, and some people may not believe this but it doesn’t change anything. The bears will just keep on growing so why should we murder them for no reason while there are other ways to prevent them from hurting our people. Hunting black bears is a horrendous sport which lets hunters get lots of money for doing something wrong. When has murdering and torturing animals become a sport? What have the bears ever done to us or the hunters? They kill people because they are terrified of us. It is not their fault. When people are terrified they do the same thing. We should end the bear hunt because when we hurt bears that is…

    Roger Ailes is the founding CEO of the Fox News Channel, as well as its former chairman. Ailes was born to a working-class family in Warren, Ohio, in 1940. He was a sickly child and suffered from hemophilia, and he also live with an abusive father. Despite this childhood adversity, he quickly rose to success in television production after graduating from Ohio University. By the age of 25, he was an executive producer at The Mike Douglas Show. It was there that he met Richard Nixon, to whom he became an adviser. This interaction began Ailes’s foray into advising Republican politicians, including Ronald Reagan, George Bush and Rudolph Giuliani. In 1996 he was chosen by Rupert Murdoch to run an new network, Fox News, which Rolling Stone once referred to as a “fear factory” that advanced the agenda of the far-right.…
