Wolves prey on the Elks, who preys on the wolves... there’s the rub, no one does.
Eventually, after easier prey is killed, wolves will kill each other
who preys on the wolves...
Hunters of course another endangered species on Government land.
Wolves were bad for live stock, bad for humans, and so they were eliminated. Stupid dreams of controlling them while allowing them to run free, is no more than a stupid dream. Elk are far more valuable I think than a wolf. You can eat elk.
Not sure what the solution for the wolf lovers is, but free ranging wolfs should not be allowed. The only reason I don’t feel the same about bears and Mountain lions, is they don’t run in packs.
