New York Times article on the first wolf tracked into California:
...Ardent wolf fandom and ire do not surprise Ed Bangs, the federal Fish and Wildlife Service’s
recently retired wolf recovery coordinator. “When wolves come back, one
side says it’s the end of civilization, our children will be dragged
down at the bus stop,” he said. “The other side thinks nature is finally
back in balance and can we all have a group hug now.”
California will see the same divisions, said Mr. Bangs, who in his 30
years in gray wolf management attended hundreds of contentious meetings
with residents, ranchers and environmentalists.
“I like to say wolves are boring,” he said, “but people are fascinating.”
