  The environment is more important than rancher’s bottom lines

    I wonder if anyone knows whether ranchers in WY / MT lost income & were compensated by the state as well?

      Yes, they were. The Wyoming Game and Fish Commission regularly compensates losses due to predation that have been verified.

  Reintroducing wolves won’t work everywhere.

  Hunting can be an effective population control as well, but seeing how large and sparsely populated Yellowstone is, it’s probably why it didn’t work there.

  I guess the government pays for all other lost income due to natural events?
