text: Since I don't hunt, don't own livestock, and live a long way from where the wolves are involved with either, I'll defer to those who do.  Ecological science at the predator/prey level has yet to convince me of the necessity of reintroduction of a predator when so much of its former range is now and will continue to have humans, their children and their pets competing for the same land.   Is it science or is it Bambi love?
