The only time I've been concerned is when he's turned up a coyote a couple of times and gave full on chase The yote about shit himself, as my GSD is 3+ times their size and almost as fast.

I'm not a "fan" of wolves, I just happen to understand that a healthy ecosystem needs more predators that evolved within that ecosystem... not cars & sport hunters.

Wild Dogs around SE QLD are not necessarily Dingoes. Unfortunately they have cross bred. They are larger and not as wary of humans. We see them here several times a year and the local authorities have to use a baiting program to keep the numbers down. Lost a few calves to them. Waited for them to come back to a carcass one misty dawn, unfortunately the big dog I drilled in the half light and at some distance while chewing on the calf was from a neighboring property, even though I warned them to keep them secure till I dealt with the wild dogs. The only positive from that fuck-up is that I haven't seen a neighbors dog on my property since. Word got around apparently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a young adult's book, which isn't a bad thing, Jack London's socialism and unionism is on clear display in most of his work, he mutes it a bit for the younger readers. It's interesting though to see his views through a more contemporary lens, like Orwells 1984, and Avi's The Good Dog, which hides the politics in a dog story just as well as London. Have you read The Sea Wolf or The Iron Heel? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not worried in the slightest about either coyotes or cougars attacking me (unless I go to a bar). But my dog is always with me on hikes and he's not been exposed enough to either predator to understand what a threat they are. So the gun is for him, not me - douche canoe. We have mountain lions around our house. My dog IMMEDIATELY knows when they are around, and makes a bee-line toward the house, begs with giant eyes at the door to be let in. It's like a lion early-warning system. From my limited experience of all the dogs in my neighborhood, they seem to know the immediate danger of a lion. They don't recognize the danger of coyotes, because of the feral odor, but they know the danger of a lion ... if they have one lonely strand of wild dog DNA left next to their genes that have them curl up on the sofa and beg for treats, it sproings up like an antenna when they smell a lion; tail drops, ears drop, head drops, and they slink away quiet at a baby mouse. And then it's upstairs to a dark corner of a closet to hide. As for coyotes, I think a gun isn't needed, they are feral enough to respond to human instructions. Throw a rock at them, wave your arms, unless they've bred with dogs, they rarely get aggressive if there is a human nearby. Now if there was a way of giving an unaccompanied dog a small handgun, and teaching him or her to use it, that might be a good idea. Wolves and brown bears, that's a whole different thing, a gun is a good backup if the bear spray doesn't work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They were here, then they were gone because of the above, now they're back because we want them back. Which is great and I support it. But if what we distant people want is going to cost our fellow citizens on the scene money, we should also want to help shoulder that burden. "You pay for what we want, too bad" is just going to result in "shoot, shovel, shut up." We can find ways in law to compensate them for losses or otherwise make the wolves valuable to them, not a threat to their businesses. I have no idea how they do it in Florida, in Colorado, the cattlemen are no longer in charge of the government. Back when I was a kid, the cattle ranchers owned the government and they shot any wolf, lion or bear that they saw. It was just business. The the oilmen took over the government and they gave the sheriff's deputies antiquated tranquilizer guns that they half-heartedly tried before reaching for their sidearm on treed lions. Then the dot-com people took over government for a while (of which our current governor is from) and now it's the real estate people. The real estate people look at ranching as a threat to their profit-taking, they are more than happy to befriend the enemy of their enemy ... lions are protected, wolves are reintroduced, bears and moose allowed to wander willy nilly.

The key difference, Jeff between your wolf & mine (curled up, leaning against my back & snoring) The "Wolf" has been bred out. This is where you are just plain wrong. I've mentioned the risk/reward factor more than once. and not just livestock,, Rare surgery carried out on baby in Hubballi after face damaged in wolf attack- The New Indian Express ,and in the PNW, there are instances of Bambi& Elk hunters who "needed a gun" I'm sorry Mike, but you're going to have to use a lot better source than some kid in India getting mauled by a wolf. And even if that were in Spokane..... who cares? One kid does not entitle humans to hunt down and eradicate a predator population who was here long before humans. Humans are not always at the top of the food chain, especially in the wild. When we encroach into their territory, we are fair game for them to hunt us. If they wonder into a city, then the roles are reversed. Sorry but it is what it is. And frankly, if wolves culled a few more stupid people than they do now, our own breed would be a lot better off. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Please read again the history at the wiki Wolf hunting - Wikipedia ",,, Wolves have been actively hunted since 8,000 to 10,000 years ago, when they first began to pose a threat to livestock vital for the survival of Neolithic human communities.[2] Historically, the hunting of wolves was a huge capital- and manpower-intensive operation. The threat wolves posed to both livestock and people was considered significant enough to warrant the conscription of whole villages under threat of punishment, despite the disruption of economic activities and reduced taxes. ,,, read the whole thing, I double dog dare ya.
