Hunting for control or food in sustainable numbers is always OK in my book as long as people don't forget that a lot of the animals we hunt have been around longer than we have.

We try our best to control the wolf population up here. They tend to breed rather vigorously and can overburden an area pretty quick, which has a number of negative effects. Too many mouths and not enough food is a problem, no matter what species you are. We've lost entire packs in some areas simply because they over-extended their habitat and starved. Deer are at risk of the same thing. It's a balancing act, made all the more complicated by human presence.
Another difficulty we face is the ignorance of groups like PETA, who want to stop control measures because they view all culling as wrong. These groups do far more harm than good.

I agree, these groups do much more harm than good. Most people that are involved with groups like PETA are very ignorant; Without Seal blubber to eat the populations of Nunavut, Greenland, and Newfoundland & Labrador, Etc..... would all most likely die.

I have always had an interest in wolves. I have visited a centre near bedford several times and got hands on with the wolves. They are not wild but socialised with some human contact, although some are not "walked" because they are not too good at the interaction with people. Below are the lnks to the site and also of my first visit (im the good looking fella).

Well worth a visit if you want to learn, see and touch them.
