video - Rep. Young says wolves would solve homeless problem in certain Congressional districts

Secretary Jewell was defending Interior's budget before the House Natural Resources Committee when Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) stated:

“The grey wolf in fact is a predator that’s killing the cloven hoof animals. And we’ve got 79 congressmen sending you a letter, haven’t got a damn wolf in their whole district. I’d like to introduce them to your district. I introduce them in your district, you wouldn’t have a homeless problem any more.” Source

The letter referred to was sent to Jewell a day earlier and Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva (D-AZ), was among the 79 signatories.

Young's quip about wolves and the homeless is creating a minor stir among the D.C. Deep Thinkers.  I think its funny as hell and sure emphasizes his point.  Perhaps he should have also mentioned the wolves killing a young female teacher in Alaska.

More than a year and a half after a young, Alaska teacher was found dead -- apparently killed by wolves -- the state Department of Fish and Game has officially concluded that wolves indeed killed her. A report the agency released Tuesday said there is conclusive evidence 32-year-old Candice Berner was attacked and killed by two or more wolves while jogging near the village of Chignik Lake on the Alaska Peninsula.
Berner's death left the village terrified for days. She had come to Chignik to teach children with special needs.

Here's the video of Young's remarks.  Got to love his demonstration of Interior thumbing their nose at the state.

Thanks for posting with an appropriate photo of the wolf instead of the USFWS propaganda wolf that shows up on practically every wolf story around the net.
