Maybe the wolves will like them.

They tried re-introducing red wolves in the Smokies back in the 90’s. Turns out, the wolves preferred the herds of cattle over wild game. The program was dropped as the wolves did not reproduce well and the local cows were saved.
I suspect the reason the wolves "did not reproduce well" was that the farmers used the "Triple-S" method (Shoot/Shovel/Shut up).
