Comments about ‘Wolves spotted near Flaming Gorge’

Time to capture the rogue animals and ship them back to Yellowstone or beyond. They have no place in our back country or ranges.

Wolves have every right to be part of this earth, and that includes the land out east in Utah.

Big deal. Good grief, we can't cleanse society or the environment of everything. Sanitizing I guess is it.

You go wolves, you go!!!

(Now before people go nuts -- work on this fact: more people are killed every year in America by tvs and soda machines falling on them than by wolves. Look it up. Ban machines? Ban our stupidity? Come on, let the animals be part of our world.)

Wolves are noble and I am glad that they are back. My friend puts it this way: "When people get to heaven and find that god has a little fur coat, boy are they going to be surprised."

Now that's a thought for the day.

I think it would be wonderful to have wolves back in Utah. They would help restore a balanced environment. If people are worried about side-effects of their returning, they should do some research. Wolves have been in Yellowstone and surrounding areas for years, and they haven't caused a single human death. I do believe ranchers should be compensated for any lost cattle so this will create the least lost in any revenue.

While wolves have not caused a human death It is what they are now doing to diminished elk and deer heards, let alone Sheep and Cattle. We have taken away the winter range of Elk and Deer. So instead of having places to winter they have to stay high, Winter kill is a very real problem and with wolves it is even worse.

The orginal objective for Wolves in Yellowstone, Idaho, and the area etc was for 300 animals. It is now more then double that and getting bigger. This is a big problem.

I think that it is great that wolves are returning to Utah, let them stay it is great for this state. The ranchers and hunters need to stop whinning, I spend alot of time in the back country and the thing that ruins the experience is when you come across a herd of cattle with cow crap everywhere.
