Anyone who has seen the maiming-game that wolves like to play would agree. Run down a prime big game animal like an elk, deer, or moose, just to take a few chomps out of its haunches and then leave it to die. No pack feeding on the carcass. They then transfer that behavior over to livestock. Cattle, sheep, anything on a ranch.
That's a pretty poor comparison, greed of making an easy buck compared to losing a herd or flock to a voracious predator. Every culture and every history around the world speaks of the struggle against wolves for thousands of years.
We finally get wolves in check to a manageable point and Disney-born college-educated equalitarians want not only to protect the endangered wolves, but reintroduce the "cute huggly fluffy dogs". Can't find the original species? We'll introduce bigger wolves and wolf-hybrids. That'll teach those bad ranchers raising our burgers.
