Obviously the wolves are doing 'exactly' what they were put there to do,

Bull, did you not read my other post in this thread about some of my
first hand bear stories? I have a bunch more....
Steve Seppala from this group got a photo of the wolf that walked up to
our RAMJ+W campsite last summer.

Small children need close supervision, I don't have small children. And
anyway, buckets and stairs are bad new to small children, too. We live
in the country, I raised two w/o snakebite so far. You learn to watch
the ground when you walk around, I find more things from this habit.
A caving buddy was bitten many years ago by a big rattler. He wasn't
envenomated. Good scare tho. I have crawled past dozens of rattlers in
cave entrances over the years. I have eaten them. I have sewn their
moths shut and trained my (new) dogs with them. I have caught and
removed at least six from my house over the past 15 years (I killed
three, they were trying to get into or under my house). One was in my
engine bay of my truck.

Sure it is. It's dangerous, let's do away with it instead of being
careful.
Killing every predator on my place would be a bad move too.

I did see a cougar last month cross the road a couple miles down the
