Back ten or a dozen years ago, USF&WS gave cost figures for re-establishing the Mexican wolf into New Mexico. A full effort would cost twelve million tax dollars per year. A minimum effort? $8 million.
The do-nothing option would have cost $4 million per year. One wonders at the infinite wisdom of these professional wildlife biologists and their ability to spend $4 million per year doing nothing. But I found it to be rather underwhelming.
