Our recent forefathers went to a lot of trouble to get rid of them, for serious reasons.
It would be much easier and cheaper to install a few remote loudspeakers, to give out wolf howls at appropriate times, so that visitors could get a thrill from "hearing wolves". /S
Seriously, what is the benefit of bringing in wolves? They do not benefit the ecosystem.
They do not benefit prey animals.
Their only "benefit" is psychological, mostly to urban dwellers who do not have to live with them.
Heck, most people can not tell the difference between a wolf howl and that of a coyote. And the coyote keeps down the vermin population such as rats, ground hogs, prairie dogs and yappy little ankle bitters.
“It is hard for me to see any advantages to reintroducing wolves.”
I can only think of one. There is worry in wildlife world these days about large game hunting dying off. Maybe they hope wolves can take the place of hunters so animals don’t overpopulate. This won’t work because predators will always eat the easiest prey to catch and kill. The again, if they get rid of cows, sheep, etc. the wolves will have limited diets.
