Are the wolves winning?

In our local newspaper, “The Statesman Examiner” on August 20 there appeared a banner headline on page one which was “Judge blocks lethal force against Togo wolf pack.”

Is the solution to kill all the wolves? No, no, no. Never, never, never. Just kill most of the wolves. Save a few wolves for the zoos; they must not go extinct.

In the Holy Bible we can read what God has said in Genesis 1:26: “And God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”

Could it be that the wolves are smarter than man? Are the wolves smarter than the Washington Department of Fishing and Wildlife? After all, WDFW is losing and the wolves are winning. Also, the wolves do not take our taxpayers’ money. The WDFW does take our tax money.

Again, are the wolves winning?
