You godda remember, these wolves are vital to the natural cycle of life. Its ok to kill one in self defense or in defense of livestock, but if we go out and kill all we see, we won't be any better than they are. That reckless killing is why I have to pay 1 or 2 grand to hunt buffalo, and why the great Native American culture is now almost gone. I'm not a hippy, I just love Earth how it is.

In addition to what mr.mc54 said, wolves have destroyed the northern Wisconsindeer populations. Where I was hunting, registrations were down 50% from 2007 and 20% for the whole state. Do you think bears, coyotes and the previous winter did this? Absolutely not. Ever since the DNR re-introduced wolves into the WI ecosystem, deer numbers have been dropping and dropping. Wolves are not a native species anymore, so the deer don't recognize the danger, and as a result, get killed.
I hear so many people say "Wolves are great, they should stay." Why? How are they so great? What are they doing to improve anything? The best thing to do is to completely eradicate them again.
