Keeping factions like ranchers, sportsmen and miseducated folk at one another's throats merely enhances the smokescreen.

Large predators have no say in such matters. They are manipulated and volunteered to be de facto real estate agents for The Wildlands Project.

TWP is not about "rewilding," but rather recouping all resources and wiping out property rights.

If a wolf could tell us, it would not choose to be trapped, moved to a warmer / different climate, bred in captivity, radio-collared, poked, prodded, and turned loose in places where the wolf density is already so high that there's simply not enough food to go around and lots of infighting between the now-crowded large predator population.

Think of an inner city with two gangs. Suddenly, someone drops off ten more gangs in an area where the turf is already claimed. All Hell is SURE to break loose!

If wolves had coattails, the number of people riding on them would be amazing. Closer scrutiny will peel the onion's layers.
