I like wolves. In fact I LOVE wolves! They're gorgeous animals that were at the top of the food chain till humans arrived. I've camped many times where I've heard the howls of wolves and loved hearing it.

That said I've also known people who have suffered loss because of wolves in northern WI. I know the kind of damage that they can cause and how much of an aggravation they can be to farmers and land owners where there are wolves.

So I support management of the wolf population. I'm not a part of the crowd that believes all wolves should be wiped out but I do believe that wolves should be managed. To allow them to just breed uncontrolled is irresponsible. A managed hunting program (much like what is in place for deer) would be wise and responsible.
