and knowing the myth, symbolism and importance of these creatures, Wyoming's plan would all but eliminate wolves, who are most often blamed for livestock kills they do not make:

"When Congress delisted the Northern Rockies wolves from the Endangered Species Act last spring, it excluded Wyoming for failing to produce a viable management plan. No state has been more antagonistic to wolves than the “Cowboy State.” The Wyoming wolf plan would allow wolves to be killed without a license for most of the year throughout most of the state.
There are more than 4,000 wolves in the Great Lakes region, compared to 343 in Wyoming. Is it surprising that Garrison Keillor-listening, lutefisk-loving liberals have learned to live with wolves better than tough, self-sufficient, courageous cow-punchers out West?"
