You, obviously, are not living out in the rural parts of America, where the 're-wilding' is taking place, and the wolves, coyotes, and feral hogs are over-running the farm and ranch-land here.
Do your 'hood, and our country, a favor - kill a predator today (and tomorrow, and the next day.)

If you live out in the wilderness, then you should be prepared to deal with the creatures that inhabit that area when necessary, but to think that you can fucking kill everything there because YOU want to live there is about the same mentality that Israel is using today in Gaza.
Any aerial thinning of wolf packs is handled by Fish and Game and only when necessary.
I don't believe wholesale slaughter to be necessary or morally acceptable. I think if a rancher or farmer has a problem with wolves, they need to get some attack dogs that will guard their stock, and fire upon the wolves when warned by their dogs.
Although you have to wonder about the wisdom of keeping livestock in a wilderness area teaming with wolves in the first place. Perhaps that's what Darwin meant by "survival of the fittest". I don't think he had helicopter gunships attacking wildlife in mind however...

LOL! We are talking about thinning not "wholesale slaughter".
Perhaps you could cure your seemingly irrational hysteria concerning this matter by spearheading a project to repopulate wolves in your area. They roamed most of north America only a few hundred years ago.

Wolf populations increased because they had a larger food supply. White man's intruduction of small pox wiped out 90% of the native populations. There is speculation that this is why there were so many buffalo on the pains, their prime preditor had died off.

The same thing happens here from time to time but in some places people depend on the same food supply and these are the areas where some packs are thinned.

Hence leading to an over population of other animals, leading to death by starvation as THEIR food supplies dwindle.

LOL!! The correct amount of thinning at the correct time prevents this. It's called game management, a centuries old technique that was diligently practiced by many older civilizations as if their very lives depended on getting it right.
