***sparking uproar among animal-lovers and conservationists,***
Ever notice that most of the “wolf lovers” all live in big city CONDOS and apartments far away from the damage called by wolves.
Release some wild wolves in the local city parks and see what happens.
A country person living in the hunting area would say...”GOOD JOB HUNTERS!”
All the idiots that are so fond of predators don’t live where the predators do.
