I don't quite see them as vermin to be eradicated (almost impossible anyway), like most ranchers do, but one should sometime put oneself in their shoes. How would you like to lose your entire income for the following year before you even start working for it (you still have to work that year), just so some bunny hugger in LA or New York can dream of wolves howling in the night in Idaho.
Presumably there is compensation, though? Therefore the income loss should be at least mitigated. If the compensation is not high enough, then that is a political issue to be addressed. That is not to suggest that it is somehow acceptable just becasue there may be compensation available - just asking the question to get more of an idea of the whole picture.
