People are too willing to let others pay the price for their actions and "dreams". If they want to bring back the wolves they should pay for the live stock and pets the wolves kill out of their own pockets. Not expect the life stock owners to freely give up their income. More to the point if I had live stock and a wolf came around I would protect my live stock. Bang. End of story.
Coyotes are now eating cats and dogs near where I live. People thought it was nice to hear and see them around. Now the same people are outraged that their property (pets) are being killed and eaten. Animal rights people are telling dog owners to keep their dogs inside 24 hours a day and the "conflict" will not occur. I expect if a few more Feefees and Fidos go missing the season on Coyotes is going to be open and enforced with a lot of effort to trim back the numbers of Coyotes and Coydogs. Maybe ranchers need to name their stock so others know that the loss of "Calvin" the calf is just as real as it would be for Bob the dog.
