I know that the title of this entry is another negative stereotype associated with wolves, but I couldn't help but think of it while watching Senator Christensen speak to the media about his bill. The first sentence out of his mouth was a lie, and after that it didn't get much better. Christensen claimed that his bill would be a less harsh bill and that it didn't promote killing of all wolves. If the media had read the bill they may have been able to quote it to him and prove that his bill is a call for the removal of all wolves.
Watch this video with the following quote from Senate Bill 36 in mind.
"Policy.
42 The wolf is a predator and its presence in the state threatens the state's wildlife and
43 ungulate populations, therefore, it is the policy of the state that the wolf shall be destroyed
Destruction or removal of wolves --
Delegation of authority.
48 (1) The division shall capture or kill any wolf it discovers in the state, except for a wolf
49 lawfully held in captivity. (Utah Senate Bill 36)"
If Christensen claims he wasn't lying because they aren't technically allowing the killing of all wolves because they are not going to allow hunters into the Hogle Zoo, then I guess he may have a point.

Who does this guy think he is? I saw a news clip that said people favor killing wolves so they have higher deer and elk populations for hunting. This seems kind of hypocritical...don't let the wolves kill the deer because then the humans wouldn't have as many deer to kill for fun! I would say this guy is a little selfish and arrogant thinking he should be at the top of the food chain. That's my two cents, for what it's worth.
