The fact that most people live in cities now does not mean that farmers get to decide exactly how they will degrade the land. Nor do hunters or trappers have that right. All people have a vested interest in not degrading the land or making species extinct. As compassionate beings who are evolving, we all have should have a right to vote on issues that affect animal rights and rules governing wildlife. We are not going to be able to go back to caveman days, or to say that since some people live in cities let's ruin all the wilderness! Cities function in ways that benefit people who live in the country. Medical specialists are in cities, as well as seats of government, universities, art museums, airports, all sorts of things that benefit everyone. Cities provide markets for products produced by rural enterprise. All the city people I know are very concerned about keeping the wildlife we do have, like squirrels and birds and deer, healthy and happy. Cities are alive with wild animal life, just like the country. The animals are just smaller, for the most part.

To assert that because cities exist, a family group of wolves that provides scientific knowledge and brings income to a national park does not deserve some protection that could be easily provided makes no sense at all to me. Just based on the ethical dilemma itself--man caused these wolves to be less cautious of humans and is benefiting from them--they deserve some accommodation.
