Correct me if I'm wrong, but if those are demonstrable wolf kills, aren't the cattle owners reimbursed by the government?

Only if the wildlife officer watches the wolves kill the cattle.
If the officer arrives after the kill and watches the wolves eat the cow, then the officer does not pay up.
The excuse is , the cow committed suicide...

There are at least 75 wolves in at least nine packs in Park County.
Gonna need more bullets. Wolves were native to New York and Maryland, but, you don't hear of wolf packs in Central Park or the White House grounds. OK, I just gave the setup; you gotta bring it home!!!

Not just too many wolves killing the livestock, but also killing the elk, deer, etc :
Attorney General Pat Crank says his office recently sent a 60-day letter to USFWS, stating Wyoming will again file suit about the federal agency's refusal to accept the state's plans to remove wolves from the Endangered Species list.
We have a severe overpopulation of wolves and grizzly bears, and they're having a dramatic impact on our wildlife herds,

How stupid can people be? In Texas we shot anything on our property (except people) without thinking twice about it. Kill the damned wolves - both those killing the cows and those protecting the dogs.

The ranchers want to get the wolves delisted as an endangered species.
and to let the State of Wyoming determine the predator policy in Wyoming. So far the feds are resisting.
SSS will work, but Wyoming is trying to get the feds off their backs, too.

Oregon is catching the bleed-over in the wolf population from Idaho and the state has not included the right to protect for anybody in the wolf plan. So, it will still be the 3 Ss here. No wolf pelts on the living room walls.

the wolves have become bold enough to come down next to homes and kill pets...
Also these Canadian wolves are showing up in Utah and Colorado that were transplanted into Yellowstone.

$90 Billion in farm subsidies, free tax free land to graze their animals on and yet they can't afford a couple of German Shepards?

If anyone cares to read the original congressional legislation establishing wolves in Yellowstone, the number congress approved was about 300 wolves. The legislation also includes managing the packs and assessing the economic impact of wolves on the local economy. If the economic impact was negative, the wolves were to be controlled or removed.
Now I'm not real sure about this, and I'm sure that residents near Yellowstone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty certain that Canadian grey wolves were not original residents of the Yellowstone territory. I thought it was the red wolf (canis rufus) as the original animal around yellowstone.
I have not been keeping current about the wolf controversy around Yellowstone and last looked at the situation in 2003. We have other concerns where I live.
We've got wolves coming out of butts here in the upper Midwest. Some Marxist judge living about a thousand miles away made the royal ruling that wolves may not be managed in the upper Midwest because he'll cry. Stupid a**hole.
So SS & S goes on and Mr. Grey Wolf cannot huff and puff and blow your house down with meting Mr. 30-30.
America, is this a great country or what....

Sick humor aside, the pampered predator problem is much the same all over America. As soon as predators lose their fear of man, they become problems.
The entire predator management problem was foretold nearly a century ago, and by the first naturalist of Yellowstone Park, no less! Check page 109 of The Yellowstone Park Nature Book.
Predator populations are not the real issue. Transforming America into a nation of socialized land is the real driving force behind the assorted, sordid "endangered species" programs.

Wolf packs will kill and eat a few German shepherd dogs. A large pack of Irish wolfhounds would be different.

Where is the free land ?
Last I heard, these allotments cost cash money plus labor plus other mandated requirements.
German shepards would be lunch for a pack of wolves.
