SSS(Shoot, Shovel, Shut up!)
But we learned from Little House on the Prairie, Season 4 Episode 5 that the wolves were falsely accused and that it was white people's dogs run amuck that caused all of the trouble. In the episode Laura Ingalls and friends were rehabilitating a poor mother wolf who was caught in an evil white person's trap and taking care of her pups. When their evil white neighbors found out, they wanted to kill the wolves. If you are an Amazon Prime customer, you can stream the episode from here:

Even in the 1970s we were being inundated with silly storylines on family shows.
You are correct. Wild animal attacks make the news.
A black bear breaking into a home and attacking a couple in Wisconsin makes the news.
A wolf defense shooting in Wisconsin makes the news.
An archery hunter having to shoot a mountain lion in self defense makes the news.
As these incidents increase and are reported, more people will arm themselves.
As they arm themselves, the number of incidents will rise. Then people will demand their legislatures act, and wolves and other predator numbers will be reduced.
