Letter: Welcome wolves

Re “Wolves need protection to fully recover” (Opinion, Sept. 7): I wish to thank authors Peter Metcalf and Doug Tompkins for their timely commentary in support of keeping wolves protected under the Endangered Species Act.
No other creature has been more reviled or ruthlessly persecuted than the wolf; or for so little reason. Wolves are nature’s police force. They keep prey species fit and ecosystems healthy. In a deep sense they are the best friend that deer and elk ever had because they are partners in the dance of evolution.
I find it fascinating that the domestic dog, human beings’ best friend, is loved above all other animals, while its progenitor the wolf is feared and hated more than all other animals. Surely this reveals more about people’s insecurities than it does about wolves.
To make peace with wolves is to make peace with nature, and so also with ourselves. Utah wants wolves. Let’s not shut the door on them. Let’s welcome them back home.

How beautiful, an enlightened being and did they think of all the tourist revenue those wolves will generate for Utah?! My goodness its a win win folks
Finally some hipsters!
What a jewel this being is
Sparkle on and dazzle the earth with your words !
It is good to hear a welcome note for wolves, this apex animal that belongs in just about any true wilderness ecology having a healthy cascading effect on the flora and fauna therein generally.
Oh, if only the whole of the human race were so enlightened! Bless you Sir, and please tell the politicians exactly what you just wrote!
“To make peace with wolves is to make peace with nature, and so also with ourselves.”
Amen.
