younggun - it is talk like that that has inflammed the tensions between the states and people within that have to deal with the problem of high population of wolves, the federal gov't and the numerous "greeny" groups that have repeatedly sued in federal courts to stop the delisting of wolves in MN, Wisc., MI and more recently in the western states.
The federal gov't will not at this point allow wolves to be delisted in any state of the lower 48 unless those states' DNR, Dept. of Fish & Game, etc. prove that they have a comprehesive plan that guarantees that what you speak of "annihilation... extinction" doesn't happen.
It's best not to stick you're finger into a hornets nest that has been building for decades. We who live in the states and areas that have the Timber (Grey) Wolf problem have to deal with it.
If you are unfortunate enough to ever have someone from the Dept. of USFW or Interior get the "bright idea" to reintroduce wolves to your neck of TN, you'd find out what a pain to deal with the federal gov't and these non-governmental busy body organizations like WWF, Sierra Club, US Humane Society and other is.
