Shooting Wolves From Helicopters

should this be banned or kept going?

How is there possibly a debate for this? It should be banned.

the things humans do for entertainment... and we think were the most advanced species on the planet.

But then there would be less caribu for us to hunt...:(

Only if it's in the Artic and infected. (bonus points to those who figure this out)

I really don't understand how so many people can find joy in the needless suffering of an animal : /Setsa

The only time it's ok to shoot wolves from a helicopteris when your a german research team trying to kill an alien that is only disguising itself as a dog.

(If none of you get the movie reference your all bad people)

Just from hunting licenses, tags and stamps; all together, national sales, the main funding mechanism for state conservation agencies, set a new record, topping $723 million. This was a 2007 figure and it doesn't specify Alaska's take of the sales but from a hunter I can tell you it was probably very high. This does not include the taxes from hunting gear sales (gear to include everything for a hunt). The total profits are in the billions and this money goes into state and federal agencies to help with trail upkeep, trash removal, buying and preserving woodlands and wetlands, etc. Would you rather the government raise taxes for this or just let the wild turn into a dump (so much for the green movement). The taxes were suggested by sportsmen (hunters) and enacted as The Pittman-Robertson Act (1937) which imposed an excise tax of 10 per cent on all hunting gear; then the Dingell-Johnson act (1950) that did the same for fishing gear. The Wallop-Breaux amendment (1984) extended the tax to the fuel for boats. All were passed and are supported by us sportsmen. All use the proceeds to fund state and Federal conservation projects. None of these numbers represents the income made from individuals with lodges, guide services, transportation services, etc.1KyardStare

Hunting is fine, I'm an avid hunter myself. That's not what this is about, it's about shooting an animal from a helicopter, leaving it with no way to escape. That's just killing, not hunting.

I hope you're not talking about Scruffy here.

I swear, I keep getting complaints. "Oh Scruffy whipped me with a bloody tentacle." "Oh Scruffy turned my daughter into a horrible abomination that the very sight of it makes me lose my faith in God." You people need to stop being so overdramatic.

I consider that wrong. If wolf population is out of control put a bounty on them as they do with coyotes in a lot of places.

How do we pay for the reserve, the loss of land and loss of taxes from the normal use of the land, and the upkeep of the reserve? I can repost or you can read my other post on the current method used?siddarthshetty

Yeah, there's not many bears flying round in choppers, are there? Despite the fact that I have never heard about this sport before and it sounds uber-cool, I still think it'd probably be best if banned.

Wolf-Avatar wouldn't have liked this...

That's crazy! Who would do that?? {probably careless human beings who don't get enough in their life by happyness so they go out killing poor animals}:(

We are the most advanced and superior to all other life forms on this planet. Humans> animals.

I thought that it was illegal seeing as the Wolf was only recently declared not engdangered and threatened?xTheExploited

I dont see what's so bad about it.. wolves aren't endangered and theyre using the meat for food
