Wolves were never extinct ranchers I met during my years in Idaho all agreed .
5 years before the 1st introduction, my son and I watched 2 wolves running a calf elk in Idaho's Stanley Basin. Plain fact: extinct wolves don't eat elk.
The introduction violated the Endangered Species Act. We had a small population of wolves that, under the law, should have been propagated. Instead, they flagrantly violated the law and brought in gray wolves that quickly killed off and/or bred the natives out of existence.
