With enough livestock around, a wolf pack might choose to stop hunting altogether to enjoy the easy pickings that a farm has to offer.

2. It controls homesteading. Many property owners wolf reintroduction as a way of controlling how they use their property. When wolves are around, it is hard to run a profitable rancher farm. This is why it is seen as a way to run ranchers and farmers off of their property for good.

3. We may not need wolves. The demand for a high up predator may not be as necessary as some thought. Reintroducing them may cause a greater unbalance and have more negative effects on the land. After all, not everyone is Yellowstone.

Wolves may bring a natural balance with them, but they also bring some unique challenges. By weighing the pros and cons of wolf reintroduction, every community can come together to make the right choice for their natural habitats.
