There's about 7,000 - 8,000 wolves in all of friggin' Alaska. It's only an overpopulation if you consider the hunters who want more caribou for themselves.

If there is, they should just export them over here to Blighty.

Why, are you having a wolf shortage?

[Mark]

We could use some out here. They could eat those damn pigs in the forest.

Yes, we don't have them anymore.

That's answering two different questions, and the first one's wrong - we don't have a wolf shortage at all. We do have a problem with fox overpopulation, since the numpties in the Labour party decided that banning pest control was a good thing.

Ah. Importing wolves wouldn't help, then. Wolves form exclusive, lifelong pair bonds; and in any event, don't have as large litters as vixens do.

To call fox hunting pest control it like calling a Caribbean Cruise a method of getting to work. Sure it will get you from A to B, but it's so OTT it's ridiculous.

Wait, are you saying that by "pest control" Seafort was referring to old-school hunts, with beagles, bugles, and all that?

I think so...

[Captain Seafort]

Yep. The damn things are a menace - and that's coming from a town-dweller who's had his bin knocked over uncountable times by the damn things. As for the method of pest control, getting rid of them = good, getting rid of them, and allowing people to have some fun in the process = better. Not to mention that hunting with dogs is the most humane method of getting rid of foxes available.

We have the occasional red fox by me, but they're rare and shy of people. We do have a similar menace with raccoons - the damned things are very dextrous, and can seem to get into any trash can short of one that's welded shut. Opossums, too, but mostly they'd rather run; however, they are nasty when cornered.

BTW, "playing possum" is an absolute truth. My wife found a dead opossum in our yard, because she saw the dog playing with the carcass - tossing it around, batting it, etc. On finding nobody from animal control available at that time of night, I resolved to go scoop it into a garbage bag until someone could come for the body, and I remarked, "Wouldn't it be funny if it was only playing dead?" She said, "Couldn't be - did you see what the dog was doing to it?" I went in the yard, and sure enough - no possum.

I live in the middle of a big city and we gave possums in the backyard. Last estimate put it and 15 to one with possums out numbering Humans areound here.
