I think that it will be another factor in the debate ? that wolves can kill people. |
Moose are not well-suited for warm weather. They get heat-stressed relatively easy. They can use shallow ponds to cool off. Wisconsin may be too warm for moose and may lack an abundance of those shallow ponds. |
Now I think we are pretty close to the number of wolves the state can hold. |
The judges agreed wolves are recovered in the Great Lakes region. So if the boundaries of where that region is are drawn right, this should work. |
Their comeback is a symbol that there are still wild areas left in the state. |
When moose come through Wisconsin, they don't seem too fearful of people. It makes them vulnerable if someone wanted to harm them. |
Wisconsin has had its management plan in place since 1999, so we're ready for this. |
