I think easy meat will overcome habitat, at least for a while. unless the wolves get pad rot
Then add to that all the displaced lions coming into townI'd almost be giddy to see the West side reap what they've sewn over here on the East side...but I'm bigger than that
I know, other wet side hunters will scream, but this is what it'll take before they realize what they've done.
I stand by my hypothetical conjecture, it's a logical path to follow. Chemicals in the forest making sick animals is a cause that just about every user group can rally against. A guy would have to have some pretty thick blinders on to not think the timber companies are sweating just a little bit under the current scrutiny; scrutiny that is refreshed every time a hoof rot story makes the media. A dozen Elk laying in a small field next to a highway starving to death is not a pretty sight. Wolves can alleviate that problem, heck they'll probably be praised for making the herd "healthy, happy and stronger" just like the Disney wolves do. .....meanwhile they breed and breed with the smorgasbord of easy to catch animals at their feet creating a wolf boom. Remember, they're booming over here with large and very healthy Elk - give them 10,000's of sickly Elk and blacktail to feast upon

A panel of independent scientific experts does not believe chemicals used by timber companies cause hoof rot. What evidence do you have to support your claim that these chemicals CAUSE hoof rot which has been missed by the entire panel of experts? Anyways, its good to see that you support restrictions of private property owners that could possibly benefit the public at large. I'm sure President Obama has appointed an EPA administrator who can craft some much stronger federal regulations to restrict the various activities of private land owners in the interest of the public.

I want to see their pets die. I want to see their children terrified and afraid to go outside, and I'd love nothing more than to see wolves walking down the streets of King and Pierce Co.s. I personally would have no problem facing down a wolf and actually think that the sick and limping elk of the Weyerhaeuser land will benefit. It probably won't be the biggest herd in the state anymore, but that's the way it goes. I know, other wet side hunters will scream, but this is what it'll take before they realize what they've done.

I also think Seattle vacinity would become SAFER if wolves were around. The pan handlers and bums would need to seek shelter instead of camping out on the sidewalk and underpasses.
Aspen, I completely disagree with your comparison of these predators. Wolves are completely different. They hunt in packs. Bears and cougars are mainly solitary. Coyotes are not only a fraction of the wolves' size, they have a much less developed ability to organize their attack they way that wolves do. In addition, as we've seen, wolves seem to kill not only for food, but for the sport of it. When the wetside residents start seeing for themselves the way these eaters hunt and kill, their reaction to it will be far different than how they react to the other predators.
