wolves are damaging the environment.

Sorta like claiming "wildfires are damaging the envirnoment". Wolves are and were part of the environment. Man is the newcomer, and conflict ensues as man tries to control and modify the environment. If the re-introduction of wolves is changing a balance, that's probably because the balance was created by the artificial removal of wolves some time ago.

(Don't get me wrong. If wolves are causing a problem, shoot 'em. Just don't expect nature to bow to how you think it should operate.)

What if they introduced a species that never belonged there? I don't know where you live, but wild fires were natural where you live at one time. Would that be just putting the natural enviroment back in order?
