Build a fence around the Rez and drop all excess wolves into it. We'll see how "culturally important" they are then.
All of the above support to re-list wolves and the "reasons", are BS. Wolves are the most prolific breeders of any predator, world-wide. It will be nearly impossible for any state-managed program to wipe them out short of all out warfare on them. Including 1080.
This is ALL about money (particularly for the so-called "animal rights" groups) , politics, federal usurpation of states' rights, and back door gun control for the liberal sheep donors/voters (you don't need a gun- it's for hunting- and you have no huntable cervid populations anymore, so you don't need guns, etc).
You have it figured out.
