Following a link from “cred,” I ran across this article. Wolf supporters should read this and think about the situation. The reintroduction of the wolf will only succeed if everyone understands what it involves and we all do what we can to make it work for everyone reasonable.

I feel some compassion for people who are afraid of the wolf, especially anyone who has had a wolf march into their yard or kill a pet. At the same time, wolves will learn to avoid and fear people, as most wildlife does. It’s going to take time and some work, something ranchers are well-acquainted with. Times and conditions change and you adjust to those changes. mjh
