H.B. 5834 wolf hunt hearing

[Tallbear]

Concerned Citizens,

At 8 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 17, the first step towards returning management of Michigan’s wolf population to state wildlife officials will be taken. It’s crucial that we, as hunters and conservationists, stand together and show strong support for the designation of wolves as a game animal.

The Senate Natural Resources committee will hold a hearing on the establishment of a hunting and/or trapping season for wolves. This is a move that Michigan United Conservation Clubs strongly supports and is necessary to ensure that sound, science-based wildlife management practices are in place in Michigan.


Rep. Matt Huuki, a Republican from the Houghton area, introduced House Bill 5834 which would designate wolves as a game animal, opening the door for sensible, science-based wildlife management of Michigan’s wolf population. Wednesday's Senate hearing is expected to produce a companion bill on the Senate side.

YOUR HELP IS NEEDED!

Michigan United Conservation Clubs will testify at the hearing in support of the bill. We need to bring the voice of as many hunters and conservationists to the hearing as possible. Anti-hunting groups have already vowed to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to prevent any state management from occurring. The time to act is now and your voice is needed.

Never would I support the hunting of wolfs.
There is no logical reason to hunt wolfs, the population has reached levels for healthy multiple packs that can sustain themselves.
Wolfs are magnificent creatures and hunting them for the sake of killing them is a travesty.

We where taught growing up the only reason to hunt an animal was for food, if we shot it we ate it. If we shot something Gramps would make us eat it, so we never shot anything we din't want for lunch.
Killing a wolf for a mount is a waste of a beautiful creature.
There are some few exceptions, such as ranchers defending herds and the like, but for the most part, the only reason I can comprehend hunting wolfs is bragging rights or a manhood enhancement.


I know I'm going to catch a good flaming for my opinion. i accept that if I can pause someone long enough to think about it.

I won't argue or defend myself, I said what I said and I'll stick to it.

In other words, you have the power to read people's minds and know exactly why they support hunting wolves and you aren't going to listen to logic or reason.

Did you actually read the article?

"House Bill 5834 which would designate wolves as a game animal, opening the door for sensible, science-based wildlife management of Michigan’s wolf population."

Note the words 'sensible' and 'science-based'. I am not sure what enhances your manhood, but I don't see the hunting of wolves doing this.
