ones opinion on this will no doubt be colored by where you live. the folks living with wolves while making their living from cattle and sheep will have a different view than someone in an apt in NYC that hopes to see or hear wolves while on vacation. ditto the guides & outfitters making a living from deer & elk hunters going out west on possibly a once in a lifetime trip. yeah, they too would think it is cool to hear/see wolves, but elk populations in some areas are but a shadow of what they once were since the re-introduction of wolves in some areas. hunters and fishermen, by the way, ponied up the money out of Pittman-Robertson taxes for all of that. wolves deserve to be there, but not protected to such a degree that they are detrimental to other species. in SOME areas, elk/deer had literally destroyed their habitat (riparian locales mostly) , and the wolves brought it all back into an ecologically level balance... it is a tricky balancing act to be sure. wolves = cool. too MANY wolves= not cool.
These things can be quite tricky as far as 'best policy' goes.

I lean to the hands off, let nature take her course, except in areas where we've already screwed things up with bounties, poison bait and the like. Wolves don't make a huge dent in cattle operations (unless there's nothing else) as I understand it but sheep could be another story. That's why god made great Pyrenees. It's not an equal parallel but I used to let the gosh and red tails take a chicken or two, but those rats stealing eggs; war was declared.

Me thinks it was a White Hat hit. He is rumored to have been in charge of the Smart Dust manufacturing.

Evil mind controlling smart dust,
Is your biggest legitimate concern.

On the island of Taiwan, they make it.

Tiny little semiconductors, micro transmitters no bigger than a dust "mote".
It can hang suspended in your air.
It can infest your mind.
It can be controlled remotely.

It will have to be dealt with.

[In reply to EWillHelpYou]
The death of Ou Yang Li-hsing, deputy head of the Taiwanese military-owned National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology, was not an accident.

He oversaw multiple projects beyond the MSM declared missile ones.

Was Antifa responsible for the violence on January 6th? Officer Sicknick seemed to believe so. Is this why he and other officers died shortly following the event?
