Non-Lethal Methods and Predator Friendly Ranching Practices

"Then what can I say? How can I disprove lies that are stamped with an official seal? You can deny all the things I've seen. All the things I've discovered. But not for much longer. Because too many others know what's happening out there. And no one, no government agency has jurisdiction over the truth." -- Fox Mulder, from the X-Files

These are links are information that is constantly denied. These sources are proof that wolves can live with humans without humans killing them. There are Government agencies (such as the USFWS and DNRs, APHIS, Wildlife Services) who deny the truth and don't promote or use non lethal methods only in livestock issues. It is up to us to bring the truth to light. Non-lethal Methods and Predator Friendly Ranching Practices exist so Humans can live with Wolves without oppressing them. Here is a list below of those who support Non-Lethal Methods only and Predator Friendly Ranching and articles that factually prove their effectiveness.

It should also be noted that livestock issues are a very LOW percentage. So the fear that goes into this subject is over the top and creates the hatred of the Wolf and war against the Wolf that has gone on for more than 500 years.
