I don't live in the West so I'm not the most qualified person to give an opinion, but this is a public board, so I will chime in.

The wolves were in yellow stone long before hunters were, right? The elk and moose survived back then, so they will now too. I support reintroduction of animals in their initial habitat. BUT, I also think they should allow hunting of Wolves in order to keep populations in check.

The problem is, apparantley the public allowed reintroduction of wolves without having a set in stone agreement about when hunting and controlling them could begin, that was a mistake that may not be reversable.
