The problem around here with wolves is that people have this sense of all wildlife (elk and deer) belonging to "them". Therefore, any excuse is a good excuse to kill the wolves. Everything in balance....
We've got coyotes, but rarely see them. Our sheep and chickens are shut up at night and we've never had an issue with them. The neighbors shoot them on occasion, but I don't mind live and let live as much as possible. There are plenty of rabbits and ground squirrels to keep them fed and woods and orchards to keep them away from the houses/barns.
It does however really bug me when "city folks" talk about relocating nuisance coyotes out to the country. Why in the world do I want those desensitized, emboldened creatures out by me? I sure don't need them upsetting/displacing the local population that seems to understand the "you leave me alone, I'll leave you alone" idea.
Raccoons (at least in Toronto), are basically home invaders. If your door is open, a mom will lead her whole family right on in. Has happened a couple times to my dad, who doesn't like air conditioning...

The wolf re-introduction to Idaho has been a horrible failure.
The wolves that they used here were not our old native species of wolves, instead Fish & Game placed Canadian Grey wolves here, which were *much* larger than our old species. They have devastated the Elk herds ( which were a large portion of livelihood of the hunting guides here, which has resulted in many of them going out of business, and a domino effect on hotels, gun dealers, etc. ) - we had nearly 15k Elk in our area on the last count before the wolf re-introduction, and now the Elk counts are in the mid 3k's.....that's what happens when a non-native predator is introduced into an area under the direction of the idiot environmentalists.
So we have the wolves to thank for job losses, significant cattle losses, and loss of dollars in general to our entire area. The only people happy about this are the hippie environmentalists who almost all live in Boise ( most of whom almost moved here from California and brought their idiot ideas here, grrrr! ) and never have to deal with the wolves, period.
And now they put the wolves back on the endangered list!!
Our local plan for the wolves? The three S's..........shoot, shovel, and shut up.
I'm sure that the people in my county will do their part!

Don't blame the wolves. they are doing what comes naturally... The ones at fault are the idiot "professionals" employed by the Fish & Game / hippie environmentalists...
