Wolf pack kill ignites death threats

Death threats have been reported surrounding the Washington Fish and Wildlife Department's decision to eliminate the cattle-killing Profanity Peak wolf pack in Ferry County, according to the Seattle Times.

The threats have been received by people on both sides of the emotional issue, the newspaper reported today.

Fuel was thrown on the volatile issue last week when the Seattle Times ran a story quoting a WSU researcher who said the cattle were grazing on an allotment near a wolf den and that the attacks on cattle were predictable.  The story ran while state personnel were involved in the dangerous work of trying to hunt the wolves by helicopter/Rich Landers, SR Outdoors blog.

Question: Do you agree/disagree with the decision to kill the Profanity Peak pack?
