Well Wolfwoman...maybe you don't quite understand the facts. There were already wolves here..They were the remnants of the wolves that followed the herds of bison across the prairie. A little smaller than the Canadian wolves that they turned loose here. Of course like most things..they are pretty much gone now..if not killed off then bred out of existence. And if we hadn't messed it up in the first place WE wouldn't be here now! You are right nature isn't always pretty. I loved seeing what was as close as possible to real nature without the hand of man when I lived and worked in Alaska. Late 60's early 70's time frame..but even then wolves had been hunted...but the caribou herds waxed and waned even then through predation and disease and other factors. Don't blame all the extinction of critters on hunters though...man...including your forefathers helped. Know what a Buffalo jump is? Everybody says the indians lived with nature...bull crap... They changed things just as we did. Seems as though you use furs for some of the things you have pictured. Without the demand for such they would not be caught and used.. So remember we all impact the world surrounding us. Just a fact of life. Now just a question...what right does someone in New York City or Calipornia...or even Alaska have to make people in Wyoming Montana or Idaho live with an animal that really didn't need to be reintroduced...and then tell those same people that we HAVE to do things their way? I surely don't think I should be able to tell Alaska that they can no longer hunt ...say caribou. As I said...I am glad there are wolves in the world..but as you said..here man is changing things for the sake of change...and the ones doing it are usually not affected by the change. Heck we even have laws in place in some states protecting Sasquatch...a creature never even proved to have been seen. Sheesh..protect us from idiots that want to change the world...as long as it doesn't affect them.
