For those who think that there was no wolves in Yellowstone or in Idaho before the "re-introduction", have spent little time in the wild surrounding the area. The wolves introduced are not the native wolves, but purchased at great expense, at a time when we were paying a bounty on them in Alaska. Do a search on "the Danskin wolf", killed in Idaho a couple of years ago and see what kind of an animal we are dealing with.
It does make a difference as to how wolves are seen relative to where one lives. Those great outdoorsmen, who go to the city park at least twice a year for a picnic. Who love watching the park squirrels and feeding the pigeons see things more clearly than the fellow who finds his 500# calves, that mean the difference between paying the bill and going broke standing humped- backed with their guts dragging on the ground because the wolves only kill out of hunger. RIGHT.
