no intent from the beginning to confine them to Yellowstone National Park

So in light of the apparent success wolves in the greater Yellowstone area, Salzburg wants to pose a question to the federal government: "Is the trophy game area sufficient for habitat and for prey here to maintain Wyoming's share of sustainability?"

The wolf FedGov introduced is nearly twice the size of the local gray wolf that had been removed. Effectively, the ESA is being used to introduce an exotic species. This wolf completely outsizes the local elk, and is rapidly depleting an aging elk herd because they prefer pregnant females and yearling calves. This is exactly what is happening in Canada to the caribou. As long as there are cattle and sheep, the wolf population will have a source of food with which to take the elk population to zero. "Endangered elk" would be a bonanza for the bureaucrats.

The real goal here is to get rid of resource industry so that western states can be dominated by an urban/bureaucrat/retiree vote and "investors" in South American cattle production (Soros, Rockefeller, etc.) can turn a buck.
