Good Grief, I can't imagine living day to day with such a threat. It would certainly mean one couldn't leave their pets outside. I'd need to be with my Mini Aussies, Chase and Bear at all times. They are actually inside dogs but spend a lot of time outside in the cool months. My peafowl are pets.....I can just see a pack of wolves hunting them down early mornings. Makes me so angry my birds leave their roost in the trees often before it good and light. My neighbor has a great view of his longhorns on their 50 acres and will shoot any dog chasing his calves. He'd have a time with wolves that would even take down the grown cattle. I'm nervous as all get out when there is a full moon. The coyotes here are out in full force. Everyone locks up small animals. The baby monitor I use picks up their calls which facinate me. One night I swear they were on our 5 acres. These wolves have to be magnificant animals but sounds like they need to be kept down to only a few surviving. I would imagine many folks in the areas where they range practice the 3 - S's, shoot, shovel and shut up!!
