Why does Fox News get facts wrong about wolves?

Answer 1

Their email address is yourcomments@foxnews.com

This morning I was watching Fox News, and I was shocked at their stupidity, lack of knowledge, spewing poison out of their pie holes against the wolf. I have contacted Predator Defense. Hopefully they will contact Fox News and correct their inaccurate reporting: Below is what I sent to Predators:

Good morning and a big HELP (in the name of the wolf),

This morning I was watching Fox News, and much to my dismay, they did a short piece on the wolf, having the facts wrong. They even referred to the movie, "Old Yeller" as possibly being bitten by a wolf and dying from rabies. I sat there stunned. The only statement they had correct is that animal activists are threatening to sue for the wolves being slaughtered. According to Fox News, there is an over abundance of wolves. Surely not in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. Then they were saying how it's right to shoot a wolf before it attacks you. Oh, my God! My hair stood on end. The only thing they said right was that wolves take down deer, but they left it at that, not mentioning the good that does. They never mentioned about the wolves controlling large herds of animals so there is no over grazing. They never mentioned that the wolf usually only takes down the sick or the elderly making the herd stronger. If it weren't for the wolf helping to manage the Eco system, there would be no grass, the trees would die, therefore, no place for birds to nest and raise their families. They didn't mention any of this. Fox News area covers everyone, and people listen to what they have to say. They are usually right, but this time they hit the bottom of the ladder of evolution in my book. Could somebody from Predator Defense contact them and explain what is really going on. They didn't even mention how Defenders of Wildlife held meetings for the farmers, showing them first hand how to keep their livestock safe from predators. They also did not mention that the wolf is not the main predator. There are other animals out there that are killing the livestock, even packs of wild dogs. Why don't the farmers complain when their herds get sick and they loose many of them to illnesses or broken bones from holes on their land?
