I've had the thought for a long time, I don't want it to happen, I'm not advocating for it to happen, but I think it's going to take a horror story to get full wolf and grizzly management back.
Kids, a family, non-hunters just minding their own business, not it in the wilderness, in and around town. It's going to take something horrible in a state like California to change people's mind sets to allow management of apex predators.

Hope I'm wrong.

Doesn’t sound like it will take long based on that article. If it was just a pack of “wild dogs” doing all that they would have been shot already.

Unfortunately even situations like that aren’t going to change a darn thing about wolf management along the west coast. People that have dealt or dealing with wolf issues already know things need changing. Until litigators stop litigating and pro wolf extremist stop playing the heart string of uninformed Americans I see no change to what is written into law for those states

The animal extremist left here in CA always blames the person when animals attack. Never the animal's fault

The Feds recently removed a wolf in Southwest Oregon. It was the first lethal removal after years of local ranchers calling for something to be done. The local ranchers are hoping this may be a new sign that someones finally got some balls to do something about these wolfs that have had free reign on the livestock for so long.

Wolves need a 22 headache. I recommend "Stangers"

California is obviously the example of how to do virtually everything wrong. Their wildlife management is no different. Ballot box biology decided by those who live on hundreds of square miles of concrete and asphalt is asinine.

They’ve outlawed lion hunting, bobcat hunting and hound hunting for bears. The yearly quota for bears was 1,800 and either hit that mark or was very close when hound hunting was legal. Since banning hounds, it’s about half. The result is more and more bears every year, and more human conflict. This means more depredation permits to kill problem bears, and by “law” bears killed on a depredation permit must be destroyed. At one point they put forth a bill and will again, to ban all bear hunting.

Now they are attempting to ban coyote hunting, I guess because they are cute???
With the wolves, they will have all the reason they need to ban all hunting. The deer/elk population will be so low they will have to be “protected.” California Liberals absolutely do not care about livestock (too many cow farts), livelihoods, or human life. They are $&@%£#£¥, but they are good at the long game.

The purpose of wildlife management is to trim the peaks and the bottoms off of the cycles to maintain sustainable populations of animals and habitat. In order to attain those goals the predators must be kept in balance along with the prey species.

In natural systems, all components all have to go through a complete population collapse every so many years that may take decades to recover if ever.

Predators have to be limited in population numbers with respect to prey numbers to maintain the balance.
