Now there is a creative way to waste resources if I've ever seen one.
War on wolves... I mean really? How can anyone even be serious about something like that? Maybe I'd understand if the wolves were eating children and whatnot on a regular basis, but what's the primary motive behind all this? |

You just said it. There is of course the issue of doing too much, Wisconsin did that, but we've balanced out or wolf populations to a nice medium. Not enough to cause trouble for farmers, but enough to maintain a good population to keep deer down through most of the year.

Drones?
I bet someone with decent marksmanship could take a drone down without too much trouble...

![]() This is an opinion article, so treat it with a certain degree of skepticism. That said, if the article is true, then it's a sad product of the American government and the power of Congressional lobbyists. I really hope the wolves won't be hunted to extinction. But again, take this article with a grain of salt.

And a decent engineer would have cameras on those drones, constantly recording...

![]() But seriously what the hell are these people thinking? A 'war on wolves', because the wolves are such a threat to America living out their lives in the wilderness? ![]() |

Actually, they stream footage to the operator.
As for the (lack of) context, there's a lack of context. Seems to me that nobody's going to be pleased either way though... ![]()

Would be interesting to get a hand on one of these - it might sell for quite a bit if it really is originally military equipment

Just kidding. I'm surprised we got this far into this thread and nobody made a joke about killing wolves from a helicopter. |
