Wolves were put here for our use, with our discretion. When wolves continually killed and consumed our ancestors yearly supply of protein, our ancestors killed the wolves and used them for warm clothes, until the wolves stopped. That took near elimination, which was their discretion. End of story. We are only one hundred years removed from that. Why would we ever let them become a problem, like our neighboring states already are, or even a potential problem, ever again? Elimination was the answer once, the way history repeats itself, it will be again. Protection of North Dakota's deer, elk, moose and my neighbors cows call for it.
