I agree that wolves and other big predators have a place in wilderness. One problem is that those who want to "bring back" these animals confuse sparsely populated areas,such as Michigan's Upper Peninsula or even parts of the Northern Lower Peninsula, with wilderness. These predators need to be effectively restricted to areas with no permanent human population. I had a close encounter with a Wolf in Northern Ontario, and there is no doubt in my mind that he was evaluating me as a possible meal. I understand that is the nature of a Wolf. It is not personal, just business. Nonetheless, I do not want them around me or those I am obligated to protect, (which includes my dogs). As the poster above said, they are not good neighbors!
