I think the bigger question is how do werewolves benefit anyone anywhere ?
After all wolves are really nothing more than werewolves in sheeps clothing.
Im unclear how Yellowstone fits into all of this.

Hm - Yellowstone, national park, balance.

Yes, by all meant care for the ranchers but there has to be a balance between the needs of man and the needs of nature.

Allowing wolves some space within a national park / nature reserve is not excessive by any means. if they cannot have space in a national park then where is left for them. The alternative is to kill all wolves and that is not acceptable.

That's a good one - sounds like a former member who claimed deforestation wasn't happening because he could see lots of trees from his back door.

There's more trees in the U.S. now than before the white man showed up.
Land managment by the lumber and paper industries will unsure there will allways be plenty of trees around.

The point being that a species becomes endangered depending on the world population - not how many are in you back yard.

Just in case you hadn't noticed.
