Do you realize what was going on in Yellowstone before reintroducing wolves? The elk population had grown too large, they were destroying the saplings of young trees that would have otherwise provided wood for beaver dams or a nest for endangered birds of prey. The coyote had begun to take over where the wolf had left, and unlike the wolf they often target the American Antelope, interrupting their yearly migration. With the wolf's return, elk populations are beginning to go back to a more managable number and coyotes are not as big of a problem.muy_thaiguy wrote:But when the ecosystem (after the wolves were no longer here) balanced out, the re-introduction of them threw them off.

Now should rogue wolves that target cattle and sheep been taken care of? Yes, and the government is taking actions to deal with that. However, it is unwise to eliminate all wolves in the area for that, as they do provide an important function for the ecosystem.
Ask the experts most of them will tell you that the wolf is a "keystone species" for the northwest.
