Wolves multiply and travel distances.
Wolves have to eat.
If they multiply, they eat more of anything that has meat on it in greater distances.
If it’s okay with everyone that things with meat on them are getting eaten in increasing numbers, then okay.
They’ll keep this up until people get fed up with wolves eating and multiplying.
Succinctly and rationally explained.
One of the distinguishing hallmarks of North American wolves, especially Canadian Greys, is that while, yes, they have to eat (!), they also kill for fun. If something is there to kill, whether they are hungry or not, they’ll kill it if they think they can.
My brother-in-law is a rancher in western Wyoming and has seen this behavior more times than he cares to think about. He occasionally has real problems with them in regards to his herds.
For my money, I think I’ll take the opinion of someone who knows what he’s talking about.
