The female wolf and eight pups were captured and returned to a holding pen. By the time they were released, another male wolf was waiting outside the fence. Today, there are eight packs and 116 wolves in Yellowstone, and 40,000 human beings have seen them. Well, every fairy tale has a basis in fact. None of that stuff ever happened and none of it ever will.
Wolves are here to stay.
Now what you see is people arguing over how many wolves we should have, and where they should be, and how they'll be managed. Wolves do good things and they do bad things. They aren't perfect. But overall, there have been very few problems. There is plenty of food available and plenty of remote country.
