Wolves need to be reintroduced in many parts of the U.S. Here in Indiana, hunters have to keep the deer population down and even they can't do a good enough job. Other states have even bigger problems with feral hogs. Wolves are essentially no threat to humans but there's always scaremongering.
Meanwhile, these ranchers are throwing a shit fit about TEN WOLVES.
Wanna bet they also QQ about deer and/or hogs running amok?
Probably not because those won't affect their bottom line as much. Wolves harass cattle herds and run the weight off of them, requiring more workers to protect the herd and also reducing sale price. With wolves reintroduced, the price of beef will increase.
That being said, we definitely still should reintroduce them, they have so many positive effects on the environment. Even if not reintroduced, it won't be long before the wolves in Wyoming start making their way down anyway.
They already have. It's not been publicly acknowledged because there are powerful land-use interests that want us to believe that they are only shooting "coyotes."
That said, the cheapest and most effective way to protect herds is with dogs. They've been doing it in Europe and parts of Asia for thousands of years, so it's not as if the knowledge isn't out there. It's what your giant breeds like mastiffs, great Pyrenees and Anatolian shepherds and the like we're originally bred for.
