Great video, Dap. The benefit of reintroducing the wolves to Yellowstone has been well documented, yet the number of people around the park who would like to eradicate them all is staggering. When I was out there a few years ago, in Cody, Wyoming, on the eastern border of the park, bumper stickers were common that read "Glad you enjoyed your stay, please bring a wolf home with you." Every inn and restaurant I went into had signs vilifying wolves.
Ignorance abounds...

~sigh~ That is depressing.
I actually saw this video on Facebook. I am starting to see social media as a great way to get out information like this. Just educating the average person has to make a huge difference, even if some people will refuse to be reached (those with the bumper stickers seem less likely to budget I their thinking).

I'm reading a good book right now about wolves in the West. The book is called "Wolf Land" but Carter Niemeyer. I read his first one as well, "Wolfer". Carter was a Federal Trapper for many years. He got involved with the wolf reintroduction to YNP in the 90's. Both good books.

Thanks! I'll see library down here has one or both. I'd like to give one a try!

I was just reading about the use of the pesticide Furadan and how it kills not only target animals but all scavengers that happen upon the poisoned animal. They feed on the flesh and they die also. With my interest piqued, I looked up the product and found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LE5LCgbLUMw

I like Carter's books because he has been on both sides of the fence, so to speak. He worked as a Federal trapper (i.e. Killer) for many years and then got involved with the reintroduction. It changed his entire life.
