"Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, three states that are being affected by the reintroduction of the wolf are simply required to come up with a Federally approved management plan and as long as they can do that then the wolf population can be held into check. "

The problem is that the Feds must approve the State's plan. The state is more locally oriented.

I don't think that eradication of the wolf, again, is the most desirable outcome. If the states could implement their management plan without excessive federal influence it would be well and things would quiet down quite a bit.
