It’s not easy being a wolf in northern Minnesota.

Every year dozens of the animals die of starvation, disease, parasites, vehicle traffic and poaching.

    Yeah, but if you put “we build anti-wolf fences for you” on the meat industry’s plate, they’d probably say, “oooo, government handouts, gimme gimme gimme”.

      Spoken like a bunch of people who have no idea how detrimental fences and other barriers can be to local ecosystems.
