Wow....a "Wolfquarium"....
Sounds like a great idea....for a horror movie....

I agree with what the article states...that it will present a false notion of wildlife , and how they live / exist...
As well as having the wildlife become too used to humans.

I slept with a cougar once, man that was an experience!

I slept with the wolves in kfalls....well I wasnt sleeping but stayed out all night for 45 days with cattle trying to keep the pack out. I personally have no use for them in oregon and definitely wouldnt pay money to sleep with them

A Canada wildlife preserve offers rental lodges where people can gawk at a pack of wolves just on the other side of giant ground-level picture windows and sliding glass doors.

I wonder how many idjits will try to feed them.

Too bad they mark any foreign objects in their den during the night. Ha ha you got pissed on you suckers! Go back to tending to ur organic soy garden and your compost bin.

I'll never understand how anyone could think reintroduction does anything positive for any creature besides the wolf. Why is it so important to "them" to have wolves in an area were they have historically caused destruction and were removed because of it? The people who are affected in a negative way by these critters will do what they need to do.

Me? Sleep with the wolves? Hell, no! But I've heard that wolf hunting can be pretty exciting. I'm all for that.

I have no doubt that in some cases ...reintroduction of wildlife makes sense and even works.

However....
The folks that make such decisions often do not have to live with the consequences of the decisions made.
And...
Just because an animal lived in an area historically , is no guarantee that it can do so...in today's world.

Especially when the creature needs to be 'artificially' maintained with collars, tracking etc.

As I have said before, Wolves had their chance environmentally and apparently couldn't survive. Compare them to coyotes which can survive nearly anywhere and anything - including humans - and are doing quite well.

Interesting note on coyotes. In the last 6 mo or so nextdoor has tons of reports of coyotes hunting in packs in Portland. Fe one lady walking with their kid last week had coyote pack circling them and would not go away. Good excuse to carry that extra little .22 with suppressor.

Wolves have survived they just adapted.

No doubt hunting house cats and little yappy bubblegum dogs. The dogs I can live without, nice and quiet.

Extermination of this species needed!

In some areas yes - but not in Oregon.

Supposedly the last wolf in Oregon was shot in 1949, however some believe a few might have survived as some report having seen them long before they started migrating in from the Idaho reintroduction in the mid 90's

If the Earth Muffins had NOT gotten their way and had the wolves had not been protected they would have most likely never made it any farther West than the Snake River.

We have one of those yappy little dogs. We keep her in for the most part because I don't want to hear her yapping, either. I also have a 80 pound lab mix that goes out anytime she goes out after dark. She's a snack. He's a deterrent.
The coyote I chased out of our neighborhood a while back was catchin squirrels. I don't take kindly to that! I'da shot him, but my neighbors would have crapped their pants.

Can you legally shoot where you live?

If so let 'um crap their pants!

Around where I live no one would raise an eyebrow over a dead coyote.

Late 90's or very early 2000's I saw wolf tracks on the east side of Mt. Hood. ODF&W would have said I was mistaken. It wasn't I that was mistaken. No cel phones for pictures then. That dog's tracks were nearly twice the length of the very big lab I had. Nothing else around but deer tracks.

No, I can't. I live in the city limits of West Linn. Otherwise he wouldn't have gotten a chance to eat the squirrel.
