I say send them to Detroit. Do a google maps walk-through of Detroit. Plenty new dens and wild land. It’s returning to nature. But seriously, there can be a balance here somehow. Can’t they just re-populate the wolves in some of the huge national parks and leave it at that? The states should still be able to control them and allow limited hunting too. Conservatives should try to embrace conservation of our wild animals, but in a common sense way. I don’t like that we are looked at as being anti-wildlife, anti-environment when we aren’t/shouldn’t. The republican party started conservation in this country and should embrace it. Again...in a way that doesn’t endanger humans of course.

That is how this crap started. The wolves don't recognize park boundaries.

The range of these critters is understated by the official sources--which enhances their leverage for expansion while permitting establishment of populations in areas which have not been populated with these animals in living memory.

Predators will overpopulate, eliminate game animals, and then suffer a reduction in numbers, provided that prey animals are limited in number. They will turn to livestock for a food source, and there is no reason to believe that they will not attack people when the normal prey are reduced sufficiently.

The people pushing for this crap are theorists sitting in urban enclaves, the people fighting it are on the front lines.

SSS, but always with the risk of losing everything either way.

No, they won't stay put and there's more food outside the parks than in them.
