WOLVES: Push deer to homes

| December 3, 2014 10:35 PM

Mrs. Crumpacker. You say that wolves and other predators keep deer out of our “neighborhoods/yards/gardens.” I would contend that the opposite is true. Our government transported Canadian wolves to our land causing the population of wolves to SKYROCKET. This in turn caused the population of deer, elk and moose to fall, to a higher degree the elk. Maybe the deer are coming into your neighborhood because the wolves are chasing them there. Wolves and most other predators won’t come into a neighborhood so, bingo!

And about the “disruption of the environment,” God has called us to be stewards of his creation, and as that we must control the predators (to reasonable levels) so that we, and generations to come, can harvest, eat and enjoy the meat that God has placed on the Earth.
