Wolf hunted and killed..

Here are some of the means "hunters" use to murder their game such as Wolves all these methods are quite unfair in my opinion.

TRAP~*

Steel traps are devices that when triggered cause a set of strong metal jaws to spring around an animal's foot and hold it firmly. The trap is shallowly buried near natural or artificial scent posts, around carcasses of large animals, on wolf trails, or in front of small baited holes known as "dirt holes". Wolf urine and/ or powerful-smelling scent is often used near the trap. Steel traps have been used on wolves for decades and are still utilized today by individual trappers in both North America and Eurasia. The metal jaws tend to break the bones of the animal caught in them, some animals will try to chew their limbs off to freedom. When the hunter finds the animal, he usually disposes of it with gun methods. The poor thing does not stand a chance. In fair payback though, some hunters and hikers also have been injured by inadvertently stepping into a leg hold trap.

SNARING~*

These are made of wire or cable set in a sliding loop and hung along wolf trails. The wolf accidentally sticks his neck through the snare and chokes itself. Usually there will be food on the other side to lure the wolf to put its head through. Very crucial method.

AERIAL HUNTING~*

One of the techniques for killing large numbers of wolves involves the use of either fixed-wing aircraft or helicopters. This method is usually limited to periods when snow covers the ground. However, because of the lack of effort on the hunters part, large numbers of wolves can be wiped out of a region in just a few weeks of the winter months. Those who hunt for sport seem to like to exert as little energy in killing as possible.

POISONING~*

Tainting of a carcass with poison and leaving it in the wild in hopes that one or two wolves you are trying to get rid of comes by and feeds upon the carcass, thus desposing of the wolven. A very cheap method if you ask me. While many other animals depend on carrion for food its just irresponsible in every way, many animals suffer unfair deaths from this method.

BOUNTIES~*

Money or other valuable tender, such as livestock, paid for the killing of wolves, is known as a bounty or a bounty hunter. Bounties have been paid for wolves for at least 2,700 years, and in the United States they were paid as early as 1630, in Massachusetts. Bounties are usually paid by federal, state, or local governments, but they have also been offered by various special-interest groups such as livestock organizations. The bounty system is an appalling footnote on the greed of society. Bounties are weapons for the weak and spineless ... those who have a problem with something pay someone else to dispose of it. Another cruel method of death.
