In the Northwest, wolves are a major factor in keeping our wildlife, and the ecosystem we live around and enjoy. Predators such as wolves are necessary for the environment as they are the keystone species maintaining the diversity of their ecosystem. Wolves enhance prey populations by culling weak and sick animals from the gene pool, leaving only the strongest of animals to reproduce.
What a wonderful world it would be if wildlife lived without being hunted, chased away by development, never poisoned or snared by ranchers. Cars would not crush them; fickle legislation wouldn’t protect them one year and endanger them the next. We can only hope with this administration, changes can occur.
