First, you can keep your stinking sheep, I could care less, they aren't eating thousands of elk. Second, its only stupid to you because you can shoot your wolves, they aren't running amok "eating the efforts" of sportsmen in this country. Third, I don't know how your wildlife conservation budgets are set up. Our state game managers and agencies are funded almost entirely by selling licenses and fees from hunters and anglers. If huntable populations of elk are diminished to the point of losing licenses and fees like around Yellowstone and in Idaho, people won't buy those licenses and pay those fees if there is nothing to hunt. Hence no game managers etc. No its not stupid for us to be irritated.
