Wolves keeps the ecosystem in Balance, if they are not part of the ecosystem another specie will thrive and become a parasite on its surrounding eco
system.
If a pack of elk were not disturbed, they would never move, and would eat everything in sight. This would be detrimental to native plants and grasses.
Wolves keep the herds of deer and elk moving. If it were not for the wolves, smaller carnivores, such as rabbits, squirrels and raccoons would be
over-populated.
Animal conservation is extremely necessary. Killing off wolves to save cows, sheep, deer and elk will create an imbalance in our eco-system. Nature
has a way of working things out, and if we would just let Mother Nature do what she is supposed to do, there would not be a problem.
One tale of the grey wolf was when it was reintroduced into the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem in 1995, there was only one beaver colony in the park,
said Doug Smith, a wildlife biologist in charge of the Yellowstone Wolf Project.
Today, the park is home to nine beaver colonies, with the promise of more to come, as the reintroduction of wolves continues to astonish biologists
with a ripple of direct and indirect consequences throughout the ecosystem.
When the long white truck drove through Roosevelt Arch on Jan. 12, 1995, it was almost like watching a modern-day Trojan horse arrive in
Yellowstone.
Inside were eight gray wolves from Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada. They became the first wolves to roam Yellowstone since the 1920s when the
last pack was killed. By the end of 1996, 31 wolves were relocated to the
park.[...]
The wolf is designated by the European Union as a species of “community interest” requiring protection and conservation, under the following
agreements:
The Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats (known as the Berne Convention): the wolf is included in Appendix II as a
strictly protected species. However, amongst the countries that have signed the Convention, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania,
Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Turkey have made reservations excluding the wolf from this protection.

I believe that the state should fund the reintroduction of the wolf where its gone extinct..
