Wolf shootings sensible

Sat., Feb. 20, 2016

As a person who ate elk from the Lolo Zone in Idaho many, many years of my life, I am glad to see the report of wolves shot by helicopter in that area.

Although we could all become vegetarian and allow the wolves to continue to decimate the herds (down from 16,000 to 1,000 in 25 years), evolutionists should take note. How many more years until the elk are all gone and you are on their menu? Is evolution really a fact?

This is terrible management of natural resources. How much better it would be if those in charge obeyed the Bible and subjected and controlled all wildlife.
