Those who are anti wolf love to puke out that hunters are the real conservationist. They also like to spew the rhetoric that hunters are the main source of conservation. Both completely false information. First of all, to fully be the main source of conservation funds in the US,you would have to completely ignore the roughly 95% of Americans who do not hunt.(only about 4-5% of Americans hunt)You would have to exclude every dollar spent by tax payers each year,along with all the money National parks etc pull in from nature enthusiasts, along with every other source of funding/donations that come in from non hunting society that goes for wildlife conservation .
Next, to be a conservationist, you must first have a respect for all of nature and its natural order. This includes predators,prey,insects,aquatic life,plant life etc. You need to understand the delicate balance all life has and the jobs they were put here to do.For millions of years nature balanced itself before human interference. Top predators such as bear,wolves,coyote,mountain lions etc. regulated their own populations. They do this by only allowing the alpha to mate,or eliminating some of their own young.They did not need the help of humans.
Not to mention, unlike those who hunt to feed their families, or to carry on family tradition (while loving and respecting the animals they kill) anti wolf killers are the opposite! They dont kill them to feed their families, and they sure as hell do not respect the animal they are killing. So to refer to themselves as "conservationist " is a laughing joke at best.
