There’s something else going on. The reintroduction of wolves is all about gun control.They want to take away hunting so that there’s no need for guns. “Target shooting - buy darts”. “Self protection - just hire more police.” “Control the population of deer and elk - wolves”. Those pesky guns keep getting in the way of mandating liberal control.
There’s no doubt eviro nazis and animal rights nuts want to stop all hunting and take away guns but they’re whistling in the wind if they think they’ll get anywhere with it.
