I just talked to a biologist from Yellowstone. He told me there best estimate of the wolf population in the yellowstone ecosystem is 750. They think the yellowstone ecosystem has all of the wolves it can support? They think if they get more wolves than what they already have there will be conflicts between the packs, they will also kill too many elk, deer & moose for that ecosystem to reproduce & still support them. That would cause a inbalance in nature & several wolves would need to leave the area to survive.
The biologist are employed to observe & consult the park superintendent. They write reports, talk with the public & game departments. There job is NOT to play God. Yellowstones policy is to not let the wild remain wild. They do not interfer with wolves, elk, deer & moose.

Ranchers need about 5-acres for every head of cattle they raise around here. If you want to keep buying beef at the grocery store? Then yes the ranchers do need all of the ground they own. I also feel that man is more of a problem than wolves are. We let are emotions get in the way of logical thinking sometimes. The wolves are just being wolves.
We need to have the right to shoot wolves on sight when they are in the wrong places.
The wolf issue will end up being a ballot box issue in the years to come and good sound science will loose again to emotions at the ballot box.[:'(]
