text: Why a state as huge as Alaska is so close to killing off it's wolf population is unfathamable. The lack of state officials to even pretend to care enough to come up with solutions is deplorable. The only thing they are good at is making excuses. There is no good reason to kill wolves. It's not hunting. People do not survive on their meat. I will never understand what motivates people to slaughter beautiful creatures simply for the thrill of killing.
