when people say "I believe wolves have a place in the wilderness" it demonstrates their complete lack of knowledge of wolf habits and the natural history of Idaho. This is a very common statement made by outsiders. Idaho is a land of animals and working people; towns, mining, hunting, farming, ranching, logging. What is "wilderness"? Usually, it means "somebody elses back yard".

Idaho is a big state, about 1/2 the size of Sweden with 1/7 the population with many different climates and terrains.

then I guess that sets a worrying precedent for conserving habitat for lions and other dangerous game in Africa. I guess you could argue that with villages everywhere, there is no wilderness there either
