USDA kills hundreds of Minnesota wolves to protect ranchers' profits (minnesotareformer.com)

It’s not easy being a wolf in northern Minnesota.

Every year dozens of the animals die of starvation, disease, parasites, vehicle traffic and poaching.

But the No. 1 killer of Minnesota wolves may come as a surprise: agents of the federal government, acting with the full force of the law.

I’m pretty sure that the scale of these ranches would make for an astronomically expensive fence. And it would have to be well maintained, because any little opening will be found and exploited by the animals.

Surely there’s some other solution…

How about, like, a shit-ton of dogs trained to protect the cows from the wolves?

Sounds more feasible to me than a fence, though I don’t know much about how wolves and dogs interact. Can/will wolves kill dogs?

I’ve known dogs that treat fences like a minor inconvenience and they’re well fed!

I don’t know that the mass killing is the perfect solution but I don’t have any ideas and I know fences aren’t it.

Feed any wealthy 🤑 rich CEO , banksters ETC that's done corruption on mass scale... Feed them to the wolves

I think 🤔 the solution is ALWAYS to subsidize/ have a safety net for small "mom n pop" businesses. Not gov bailing out Evil Banksters... Help the poor class , help the middle class and everything should be "ok" . Helping wealthy 🤑 ruling class ONLY ; ruined/ruins this country.

And yet, lately, helping the corpos is all we seem to be doing
