The dang government re-introduced wolves! What did they think would happen?
I was working on a project in Salmon, Idaho back around 1994 - so about 23 years ago. They had just imported four wolves from Canada. Somebody shot one right away and hung it on a fence with a sign “Ranchers: 1, Wolves: 0”
Obviously the score has changed. Wolf population in Idaho is now estimated to be over 1,000. (In 23 years!) I believe that they now allow limited hunting of the wolves.
