My kids have tried to hide things under the bed that they aren't supposed to have. Sometimes people will do the same kind of thing at work thinking, "I'll just put this broken part here, perhaps they won't notice." This behavior usually results in a problem and corrective action.
There's a need to hide wolves and grizzlies? Why?
Public not on board with this plan yet?
We're not fools to be patronized. We are citizens. The people working in these wildlife departments are our public servants whom we pay with our money. The right way to introduce wolves, if ever, is with the full cooperation of informed citizens. We have to know what we get and what we lose with an increased wolf population.
So far the offer is this:
We get musical wolf sound.
We get to see how nature "balances" populations (again).
We lose money, unspecified amounts starting with huge amounts growing from there.
We lose certain expectations of health and safety in wolf-occupied areas.
We lose ground on already difficult to control wildlife populations.
