The scientific facts that the wolves balance the eco-system in their range, should not be forgotten. Take the Yellowstone Park incident, where the growth in the herds of elk, helped destroy everything from insects to birds and from flora to elk, when the wolves were wiped out. Once the wolves were re-introduced, the eco-system was balanced by having the wolves, who kept the elk moving. This eliminated over grazing and allowed smaller plants to grow. It also brought back insects, birds and smaller mammals into the area. The elk herds were made stronger by eliminating the weak and sickly animals and strengthening those who survived. And the herds were not depleted by the wolves, they actually grew in numbers.
