Rhoze,

In the western states of U.S. wolves were almost eliminated due to being over hunted and trapped from the turn of the century through the 70's to the point where they became an endangered species and were placed on the endangered species list. They regenerated and repopulated the plains and guess what....they began killing steers, cows, sheep etc. The farmers are up in arms now and want to reinstate hunting of wolves (right now it's still against the law). This is another example of breaking up the natural chain of things. Had the hunting been allowed to run its course, the grey wolf would have been eliminated in the western plains. Because of man's intervention, it created a problem, solved a problem, created another one, and now is looking to solve another one.

The problem in Canada has some real differences to it...doesn't sound like a fair fight at all.

When I hunted as a teenager in northern Minnesota...every now and again we would hear the wolves at night and even see them sometimes during the day. They are magificent animals.
