Wolves eat deer and elk. Deer and elk are big ticket items economically, bring hundreds of millions of dollars worth of fees, spending and travel. Wolves, well, the they eat the dollars conservation has expended ( conservation meaning both private and public efforts across the west and now Midwest/even S central states).

Do the math- hunting deer and elk bring in millions, wolves cost millions, the taxpayer/entrepreneur/hunter all lose dollars.

Wolves need to go. That said, several states have allowed wolf hunting, but the damage to elk populations is enormous and climbing.

The radical animal lovers ( well, not really, just feel good “let it be natural” weirdos, really) hate hunting and economic boon, they’d rather see no elk shot, only eaten by predators in the wild, They have never and will never kill and eat anything other than a salad themselves, so they hate those who are willing and able minded to get their hands bloody.

Do away with the wolves.

Everywhere they are, elk/deer small game decline rapidly. There is no balance until Elk are nearly gone and wolves are nearly gone too. Then they’ll eat sheep and cattle-that’s what it means to be an Apex predator- anything under you is food. Man’s economy is more important than wolves on other than specific reserves.

Africa is a totally different paradigm- there are few wild spaces on the dark continent. Management of all species is mandated IOT to see any of the large/dangerous game survive- and that is done by hunting concession. competition for a wildly expanding human population and land conversion. Not even on the same planet as NA wild life conservation.
