When you can no longer buy meat for less than $1. When there are no ungulates left, when wolves, bear and cougar are all vying for you as their source of food, will you think they are so wonderful? When your child dies of hydatid disease, carried and spread by wolves, will you still think they are so wonderful?

When they come into your town, your city, and stalk your children, will you still think they are so wonderful? These are apex predators. They aren't the nice little doggie down the street.

I grew up in upstate New York where there used to be a lot of hunting. Now a days, much of that land is posted by weekenders who have bought sub- divided parcels that had once supported hunting.

The deer population has exploded with hardly any predators to manage their numbers and they had been starving themselves and causing auto accidents by being forced to road sides to look for grass to eat in the snowy season.

Now there is a hunting season for coyotes. I do believe that management is the solution, but management not just for the animals, but also management for development. Some of the greedy housing development in the last decade was unnecessary and poorly planned and now causes issues when human and animal populations intersect. I'm not saying that this is the case in those western states mentioned in this NOW piece, but it is something to think about.

The "new" wolf is a larger species from Canada. Bigger animals require more food.

Is this truly balancing things out? I guess to put my point simply, this issue will never be resolved unless both camps learn to compromise, and probably the best bet with that regards lies in somehow negating the financial blow ranchers take from wolves and other predators and eliminating the motivation to their 'hatred' of these animals. With reference to Wyoming. The wolves who stay North in the very mountainous areas will receive big game protection status. The wolves that leave that area and move south won't stay there long, they will move into the mountainous areas of Colorado, in fact they have alreay done so.
