Sheep producer is angry 'the wolves win' A northern Wisconsin farmer who has watched a growing pack of wolves harass his sheep and kill one can't believe the animals are back on the federal endangered species list. "All it means is the wolves win," said Merrill Rosenwinkel of Herbster, in far northern Bayfield County. "It is discouraging is what it is. It would be nice if we could go back to when there weren't any wolves here." The ruling means the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources now can no longer manage wolves like it wants — basically allowing the killing of the problem ones that go after livestock, pets and even bear hunting dogs. "I am very much disappointed," said Adrian Wydeven, the agency's wolf expert. "This really reduces our flexibility. It creates a lot more problems trying to manage our population. I think we lose public support to some extent because people were more willing to accept wolves when we could rapidly go out and have the problem animals removed."....Thank you Mr. Cheney.
