Silly. Wolves are apex predators and play a key role in balancing the carrying capacity of the environment, like all other apex predators.

Human are, of course, apex+ predators, and have the ability to displace apex predators whenever they choose. Doesn’t make that choice a wise one.

I recommend the article at the link. It’s from a loonng presentation by Michael Chrichton. The whole thing is good, but he has a section on the (mis)-management of Yellowstone about halfway down, a key component of which was very early wiping out the wolves.
