You are dead on the money Huntergirl. In Washington state a law was past a while back that ban hunting cougars with hounds, and you guessed it, the cougar population expanded quite rapidly. Cougars were killing livestock, dogs and stalking people. The people that voted for the ban were calling for hound dogs to get the cougar that killed their fluffy. Now hound hunting is coming back. These wolves are way worse then the cats, being that cats don't run in packs, and these wolves multiply way faster than cougar. It is no doubt we are stuck with these wolves no, but the bottom line is that all predators must be controled like any other game animal. That is where the problems begin. How long will it take before people realize what a mistake it has been to follow the line of action that has been set, in not managing a top predator. wolfbait
