Ignorant statement , they belonged in all 50 states until settlers drove them out.
The settlers drove them out because they are not capable of co-existing with humans.
Wolves are not stupid. They quickly figure out pets and livestock are much easier then hunting deer. Given time they will add children to the list.
The fancy name is depredation, but when a person has their pet eaten, they have a different name for it. A less scientific name.
That is a reason those hunters in Wisconsin are so highly motivated. They are not hunting wolves for the "joy" of the hunt, but for revenge and a burning hatred. You can sit on your high horse all you want, but for the people effected they are not going to let this problem go, they are not going give up, and they definitely are never going to agree with you.
You need a different approach. The politics on this issue is swinging hard against the wolves. As wolves move into urban areas it will go bipartison.
