When wolves leave Yellowstone they are fair game for ranchers.
There has to be a balance, & ranchers need to do a better job protecting their property, instead of blaming nature.
How do you coexist w/ other predators when your goal is to eliminate them?
Need better solutions.

Hilary Zaranek & Andrew Anderson are ranchers that have learned to change their cattle practices (herding) to coexist with wolves.
Ranchers tell conservationists that ppl who don’t live in MT don’t have to “deal” w/
s—the truth is every creature on
is connected, intimately or not. It’s the nature of ecology.
It’s ignorant to say
a are their property bc they reside in their state. No one owns the wolf


It’s ignorant to say

Pollen causes allergies so should we try to exterminate
s?
s are already threatened.

Wolves are worth saving, if not for their beauty, then at least for their role in ecology. https://nywolf.org

Final note: If you go to Yellowstone & have the luck to see
, please keep your distance.
In addition to scaring them off, they are wild predators that should be treated w/ a healthy fear.
They avoid humans & there have been no known attacks at the park
Don’t make it a first.
