Ranchers and wolves should be able to live together as long as there is fair monetary compensation for lost live stock and offending wolves are quickly identified and destroyed. Wolves are cruel and kill for the fun of it. Wolves, like sport hunters, take hunting very seriously. Wolves have to hunt to survive. They do not catch everything they chase and they can often go up to two weeks without eating.
Wolves are a threat to our children.
No one has ever been attacked by a healthy wolf in North America. Even in northern areas, where managers have problems with people hand feeding arctic wolves, there have been no major incidences. The relocation of wolves into the Waterton Lakes and Glacier ecosystems has never happened, nor is it likely to occur in the future. This natural expansion has occurred several times over the last hundred years. The protection of wolves in national parks alone will not ensure their future survival.
