Ah, NOW I Understand...
Thanks for clarifying what you meant in your previous post. And I'm glad to know that I can earn my bravery badge, by reading a book and debating about it online with someone I've never met.
IMHO, I don't think this post was started to discuss human attitudes about wolves. It was started to discuss the pros and cons about removing the protection from wildlife management that wolves currently enjoy in Idaho. I happen to support the ability of the FWS to use a variety of means, including hunting or shooting by farrmers and ranchers, to manage the wolf population.
I can't tell by your MN post, but I'm guessing that you don't support that - am I correct? Just FYI, comparing MN to ID is a pretty big stretch - MN is the land of ten thousand lakes and is fairly flat, and ID is much more mountainous. And saying that SOME of the people in the greater Minneapolis/St. Paul area seem to be okay with the wolves, has no bearing on what the people in ID might feel.

My point is, be interested enough in this subject to read just one single book on the history of human attitudes towards wolves. And then come back here and talk about it.
I'm willing to do the same, on any title anyone cares to list here.
Who's brave enough?
