Wolves are an important part of the ecosystem.
Much of the anti-wolf hysteria very closely matches the tactics of anti-gunners. Half-truths, fear mongering, and distortions.
Domestic dogs and coyotes kill more cattle than wolves in other areas of reintroduction (dogs more than twice as many and coyotes almost 10x as many). (USDA, 2015)

A solid management plan that includes keeping the wolf population in check is obviously required though.
Wolves are an important part of the ecosystem. Without them the system suffers. With them, everything in the system is healthier. Including the grasses, trees, insects, birds and soil and water.
Anti-wolf hysteria is as good of a description as I've heard.
It's all ********.
