Or, hell, anything that's actually fucking endangered (I just thought of those off the top of my head) before you start whinging about "SAVE THE WOLVES SAVE THE WOLVES!!!".

Although the Grey Wolf still faces some threats, its relatively widespread range and stable population trend mean that the species does not meet, or nearly meet, any of the criteria for the threatened categories. Therefore, it is assessed as Least Concern.
The IUCN Red List lists grey wolves as Least Concern.
And do you know how many vulnerable, endangered, and critical amphibians there are?
Oh wait, they're not cute/"badass" enough. Sorry.
Wolves are not fucking endangered. Unless you can show me solid, unbiased evidence, you are full of shit.
Save the California Condors. You know, something that's actually critically endangered?

Never mind humans!! What about the fucking Siberian tigers???

These monsters have been killing off wolves in Sikhote-Alin since the Russians declared tigers a protected species!! Our time is critical, we must sign a petition to demand an immediate tiger cull, before they spread to other parts of Asia and kill more wolves!!!

THE WAY NATURE INTENDED
Are you being deliberately thick? Look at the fossil record; it seems "nature" has been killing off its own creations long before humanity arrived. All living organisms of today's era comprise only 1% of Earth's inhabitants. What happened to the other 99% while humanity was still in a newt?

thats the way it was suppose to happen, killing for food, and for land, populations stayed the right size, and if ever grew over, they went back down shortly after. Some killed, natural causes. thats the way things happen rightly, not because some asshole was bored, or you wanted a new forest-view appartment built.

Have you even read what I wrote?
Extinctions have been going on way long before humans arrived. It seems nature is completely indifferent as to wether or not a species survives or not.

You come to these art pieces, launching piss-poor arguments and resort to insults when facts are presented, and you expect people to stay quiet about it?
God, you're dense

Erm, slaughter? This does not say "let's go kill some wolves" It says "Wolves are not endangered." No one here is murdering anything, we're just taking care of the animals that need it more.

"not endangered" means "lets kill some shit because it is legal"

dont come with the crap, if you've read, it comes down to that discussion. i aint talkin about this crap no more

You make it sound as if someones making a personal attack on you. You opened yourself up to it. If you have a problem with what I say, don't reply to this comment. I'm not about to troll someone. We are trying to take care of animals, please don't get mad because we care about more than those listed as Least Concern. May I quote? "Although the Grey Wolf still faces some threats, it's relatively widespread range and stable population trend mean that the species does not meet, or nearly meet, any of the criteria for the threatened categories. Therefore, it is assessed as Least Concern." This is as opposed to, say, "Listed as Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct), as it has not been recorded since the nineteenth century despite some surveys within its range, and it is quite a colourful and large bat. It may have been the target of hunting and may now be possibly extinct. There is one unconfirmed record of a bone from this species from 1992."

i read bottlenosed dolphin is least concern, I'm surprised noone attacked me for that XD

Holy crud, it is? *goes to look*
I guess more people like to bitch about wolves.

i thought they were threatened, but apparently they are "Ok" but still protected to some degree
"listed on CITES Appendix II which prohibits international trade."

says wolf is endangerd in some places. NJ says Bobcats are endangerd.
I recall reading they want to tweek the way it works, so if NJ has 400 of something, and 4 other states have 79,000 of the same animal, and another has 1,909, and Florda has 90 and 39 other states have 5,000, it is not endangerd. or something. or "if Alaska has 9,000 wolves and Maine has 500, wolves are doing fine because they are 9,500 wolves strong

Wow... I learned something today.

because i care about others, sure, i guess its a personal attack then.

How is someone making a personal attack on YOU? How is letting endangered animals die caring about others?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
because endangered animals ARE others, and i care a great deal about what we need, as a race, to survive, not because we need it, but because it is so delicate, and important. these creatures whom rightfully own the earth's land and waters have feeling just like us.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You seem to have missed everything I said. You make it sound as if I'm NOT trying to protect endangerd animals.
Yes, they are others. So why are you letting them die? Wolves are not endangered. But you are not thinking about that. You simply think, wolves are pretty, so they deserve to live. We should put our conservation efforts to endangerd animals, not wolves.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Oh, wow.
Yeah, that's really pleasant of you.
I don't think wolves are God IncarnateTM, so I deserve to die?
I believe we should work on saving animals that are actually endangered?
Oh wait.
WOLVES ARE THE ONLY ANIMALS THAT MATTER!
Sorry, I forgot. :c
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh great, stop sending them before i click away from the page! grr...
i care about all of the animals that deserve their lives, a.k.a. all of them. wolves are endangered, get your facts strait.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Give me solid evidence that wolves are endangered.
Get yours straight.
The IUCN lists them as least concern. the IUCN is essentially the definitive list of which animals are critical, endangered, and threatened. I care about all the animals-- even ones that aren't cute. More amphibians are endangered than any other group of animals, so why don't you start yelling about them? Are they just ~magical~ and *~*graceful*~* enough?
Pointing out that they're not endangered doesn't mean I think we should go gunning them down. Not everyone has to agree with you.
I believe them a thousand times more than I ever will someone yelling at me that I'm uneducated and a stupid jerkface just because I don't think wolves are Godtm.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I DONT THINK WOLVES ARE FUCKIN GOD! i hate the crap-wad god who hates me back if the jerk exists. i love froggies, i see them everyday almost. i know that they are dying more than most, because of humans again.
This stamp is about wolves, is it not, thats why im saying about them. make one about toads and frogs, and ill talk about them there
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's an exaggeration, honey.
Most people don't care about the frogs. <:3c Mostly the ones who run around screeching about the wolves.
Now are you going to actually make a valid point at me or will you just continue whining about how I'm such an evil animal-murderer?
Of course, you've ignored several times my opinion on all animals the right to live, but no, just because the hard, unbiased evidence says that grey wolves are not endangered, I HATE ALL ANIMALS!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i didnt actually read this, im just gonna say, im right, there is no opinion to the fact NO ONE can take another living creature's life rightfully, except for necessity. its a fact. You are just MAYBE, giving a SLIVER of care to the endangered animals, which are endangered because of hunting and land destruction, and murdering the un-endangered, but soon to be animal species. you may hate animals, but why hate yourself.
so long jackass sucka!
bye bye! no more replies from miss rightey-pants, call me childish for that comment, but im proud! PROUD of EVERYTHING i have said!
enjoy the emoticons of my last words to you:

DEAR GOD, NO ONE WANTS TO KILL ANYTHING!! This stamp is saying we should care about ALL animals, but SPECIALLY more about those that are actually on the brink of extinction. Wolves are awesome. Other animals are awesome too. CARE ABOUT EVERYTHING.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i do trust me but no it does not it says wolves are boring. meaning dont care about them. and god had nothing to do with any of this
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Actually, it was saying just the opposite: No one cares about OTHER animals because they're "boring" compared to wolves. But, oh well, as long as you care for other animals that's fine

Know what I'm going to do? An amazing trick. I'm going to tell you EXACTLY WHAT THIS STAMP SAYS AND MEANS.
"Wolves are not endangered."
Did I do a good job at interpreting it? I think I did.
I didn't see the word "slaughter" or "kill" or "ihatewolves" ANYWHERE in that. Feel free to point out where you're seeing it.
Grey wolves are not on the endangered list. That's as simple as it is. There are animals that need some serious protection that are dying out and in critical condition. Go fight for the rights of those. Priorities, you know?

I'm... I'm so honored.
You're a fucking idiot because I've already stated I DO NOT HUNT, I DO NOT KILL.
Get your head out of your ass, read what I'm saying before you leap to conclusions about who I am and what I do, and have a lovely day.

It's only the majority of gray wolves that aren't endangered; their red and Ethiopian friends are still in a bit of a pickle.
Now if only someone would give red wolves, Ethiopian wolves, Mexican gray wolves, and European gray wolves (and not to mention the many non-canine endangered species) the least bit of positive attention, I'd be much happier, and I'm already a pretty happy person XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Exactly.
But no, we only care about the grey wolves-- most people just think of them when you say "wolves", for simplicity's sake.
Let's get on some animals that are actually endangered. P:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes the wolves are endangered. Unless you don't understand grade school math my dear. And then there is the fact that if they are not fought for people will kill them off. (as has happened every time an aria remove protection)

"Least concern".
That means not endangered.
Savvy?

Funny. People used to say that about Japanese wolves and look where that has led the animal.
Who's full of shit now?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Not really because it doesn't take into account social, economic, or original numbers into account. so hay, that chart has no real value.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Um...
With all due respect, what the hell are you on about?
It's the IUCN Red List.
Pretty much the definitive list of which animals are endangered, and which aren't. If it says they're not endangered, then it means they're not.
Period.
Get off your high horse and give me some real evidence (IE from a site that ISN'T "OMG SAVE THE WOLVES SAVE THE WOLVES!!!" or a wolfaboo resource), or you're just full of self-righteous shit.

Okay, first off, I've studied wolves my whole life. Second the IUCN only uses number of population to determine risk of extinction. It dose not take into account original numbers. i.e. what the population was before human maid them endangered in the first place or political influence.The wolf is one of those things that people are ether for or opposed to, you don't get many people that'll say, "oh I don't care about wolves eater way." For example in Yellowstone when the wolves were taken off the protected list immediately there was a moment to "exterminate" (and yes that was the word the people starting the movement used not the protesters) their 2000 wolves to 200. Are wolves in risk off becoming extinct? no, not over night but it doesn't take very long for them to become that way if protection is removed. the other thing is the original numbers, wolves have a very slow growth rate. (under normal conditions without human interaction) in order for wolves to spreed out over a larger area their numbers need to grow and if protection is removed and the numbers are not allowed to or even reduced (witch is often the case) how will the wolf be properly restored in the environment? what I'm saying is the wolf dose need all the help it can get from organizations you seam to not like for defending them, in order to stay from become "endangered" again because they are endangered in the since that people will no doubt make them endangered if given the chance.

You wolfaboos always say "I studied wolves all my life". If you really did you wouldn't be so stupid and say bullshit, for wolves are not endangered
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What about the mexicangray wolf that only numbers in the 50's left in the wild, fagot? Also just because I like wolves doesn't make me a wolfaboo, that would imply that I think they are the highest form of life or superior over other wildlife, However I don't. I just value life more then most do and to shove something to the side or even bashing it because, "they're just too popular," is a petty endeavor indeed. Thanks for commenting on a comment mouths old showing you truly have nothing better to do with your life.
