Grey Wolves Are Back

I don't see how wolves returning to their former range is a bad thing?

My father worked, volunteered, restored habitat, and donated his whole life with the hope to see wolves repopulate the west.

He was also passionate about the California condor, wild horses, eagles, whales, beavers, etc.

We are not the native species here.

Native predators create a healthy ecosystem with less disease.

Too many farm/ranch animals in the vicinity who become their prey. When insurance companies quietly lobby to do whatever they can to "terminate" the proximate cause. And then of course to factor in farmers and ranchers who would just assume not have to make such claims to insurers.

The rest of us? We tend to favor wildlife conservation in general...especially when it comes to endangered species. They may be effective predators, but their pack numbers are relatively small.

Of course policy also varies depending on which side of the border is involved. And all the legislators, lobbyists and special interests doing their thing, hoping not to be seen or heard.
