Wolves have a natural place in America's modern society.
Its called a zoo.
Wait until some hapless camper gets eaten by a pack of these animals. Hopefully it will be a Sierra Club type.
Then changes will happen.
They are well enough populated in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming that they will be on the list of animals to be hunted soon.
All of Europe and all of North America was once populated with Wolves. We eradicated them once, we can do it again.
You think there shouldn't be ANY wilderness areas? I like them --- I often prefer to go where bears and wolves are and the inner city and barrio types aren't.
