Wolves eat, don?t they?


It continues to amaze me that wolf advocates, researchers, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service continue to pretend that wolves don't eat. Do they think that wolves live on chipmunks and squirrels? A wolf can eat one deer or elk a week multiplied by 52 weeks multiplied by 1,000 wolves, or 52,000 ungulates a year. Wolves follow the prey base wherever it goes. They are killing machines, and their population growth is out of control.

My question to wolf advocates is this: What do you have against the majesty of deer and elk living in our ecosystem? They are every bit as stately to watch in the wild doing their thing.
