Kill all the wolves

No literally, that's what is about to happen. The U.S. Government is lifting protection from Gray Wolves in Montana, Wyoming and Idaho accoring to this report in the NYT.

Now, I know ranchers and farmers in those states don't like wolves because they do hunt their live stock. Life as a rancher in that part of the country is tough and can be unforgiving. But, killing off a spiecies so we can subdue the land is wrong. There are precious few wild places left in this country. I sympathize with the ranchers but putting an open season on wolves is not the answer.
