In ancient times, we seem to have admired and perhaps even worshipped them. For centuries after that, we persecuted them, put out poisons for them, shot them on sight, told stories about them that frightened children and grown-ups alike, and all but exterminated them in the lower forty-eight states. Today, we argue over wolves. While we argue, wolves are returning on their own to Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. There are controversial plans to reintroduce them in several other states. For more than a decade, people have been surreptitiously trying to reintroduce wolves into the wilds of California, Oregon, Utah, Montana, and possibly other states. There are bitter disputes over government programs to shoot wolves in order to increase the number of moose and caribou for the sake of sport hunters. Some individuals ill-advisedly keep wolves or wolf-dog hybrids, thinking they are helping to conserve the wolf. Dozens of books have been written about them, and dozens of television programs filmed about them.
