Aline responds to Bayard and Alison
“In one instance I agree with Alison in that she says ‘the less done by humans the better’.  The re-introduction of the wolf in Yellowstone National Park was another of those adopted policies by the bureaucrats/environmentalists in the city who have no earthly experience of what really happens on the ground level of the West. The problem is that the wolves don’t see the boundaries of Yellowstone National Park, and when they over-populated themselves, they moved into the outlying areas of the Park.
Wolf packs are thriving around the Dubois area which is South East of the park. Wolves need to eat and when they have depleted the wild game or just want a different taste in their mouths, they start preying on ranch animals. Yes, there is compensation for ranch animals killed by wolves if it can be proven that it was indeed a wolf kill. The compensation never comes close to covering the value of the animal.  A rancher would prefer to sell his product, (in our case calves) rather collect for a dead animal.Â
People in the Yellowstone Ecosystem would have been much better off if humans had not brought wolves into this area (the less done by humans the better).”Â
