Research bias is a whole other can of worms. I am sure that you learned in your biology classes how to eliminate bias when doing research. http://tigger.uic.edu/~lwbenn/jacswc...360/week14.htm

The title of the group the doctor was with (forwolves) was a good indicator which way he was leaning. This article seemed pretty well rounded especially the comments section.

These ones probably have a political bias because they can't very well say oops we screwed up and put ranchers in an even worse position.

http://www.realtree.com/hunting/arti...-the-rmef-pain The RMEF is clearly against wolves and actually show numbers to back it up. But then you have to look at what could be their bias. They (I should say we to identify my own bias as a member) have spent millions to get access and improve habitat in places like the Bob and the wolves are pushing the elk to lower and private grounds making their access less valuable.

We could all probably agree on how old the earth is before we all agree on the wolves topic. They are here for better or worse. It is pretty disquieting to hear them howl outside your back door, but seeing that easy lope for mile after mile in the snow is pretty amazing, too.
