Default RE: Wolf Kill Picture

The thing you and your fellow residents of Idaho, Wyoming, Montano and other western states that now have substantial Gray Wolf populations need to understand, thanks to Bruce Babbitt and "that" administration, you now have the wolf and significant number of Grizzlies under the control of the Federal Government. They and the courts will not let you rid your state of these due to their protected status under the "endangered species" act. If those species numbers drop below a certain number, which they establish and they count, the feds will take back control. You don't want that.
The best you can hope for is that once they are delisted as "endangered" or "threatened" and your states have a management program in place to keep wolf and Grizzly bear population in check. You'll never get rid of them again. That may not be what you, I or anyone wants, but from over 30 years of people in northern MN fighting this thing and only now getting back control from the Federal gov't, we know this is the best we can hope for here, too.
Good luck!
