Well, using that as a basis, you should be going out of your way to help the 
wolf <g>  Very few are harmed by the wolves, if indeed the harm is by 
wolves.  Most of it is typical hysterical not based in fact.

I see the same hysteria by folks who move out here from the city -- "OMG, we 
need fish and game to come out and kill all the mountain lions.  I can't go 
walking in the woods at night."  Well, stay the hell out of the woods at 
night.  That's a no brainer!  OR, here's a novel idea, get a large dog and 
don't go walking in the woods at night without the dog.  The big cats don't 
like large dogs and generally give them a wide berth.  Up here on our 
mountain you don't see the mountain lions or any tracks because all four of 
the last four properties all have at least two large dogs.  They stay down 
at the bottom end of the road where folks have no dogs or have FiFi's.
