Is there an overpopulation problem there or something?

Even if there is they could cull them better than killing them at random from a helicopter.
I have no problem with culling I just hate to see or hear of animals being slaughtered.
Life is precious in all its forms and wolves are part of the ecological diversity of this planet and are needed to help keep the balance.
If there are too many then I think they should be culled humanly not hunted down and slaughtered in this fashion.
Sorry if sound as if I am on my soap box but I really do hate this sort of thing.
I hope I have not offended in any way.

I thought helicopter 'hunting' was illegal in the US? I agree it is cruel, the animal is 'chased down' so the shot can be taken, during the 'chase' the stress levels are very high.
A clean shot form being 'stalked' on foot would be much less cruel. Or they could just put out contraceptive bait, catch and neuter males, etc.

Things may be illegal but that does not stop it from happening, they can usually find a loop hole if it suits them to do so. I filled in the form to send the letter off as I do not agree with killing animals like that as I said cull them humainly if the numbers are to great.
Most people can think of ways to do things that are far better than what they are doing but guess what a bullet is cheaper, they forget the fuel costs of the helicopter though add that to the equation and hunting down the males and neutering them would end up looking a better prospect. Still what do we know we are just Joe Public and they are the Experts hmm makes you wonder doesn't it.

That is brilliant news. So all of us who sent off letters etc over the years have helped to bring back the Wolf. Lets hope they do not go silly and start hunting them like before, perhaps they have a Wolf Hunting season like the Deer Hunting season.
