USFWS Seeks Proposals from States & Tribes for Wolf-Livestock Demonstration Grants
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service invites submission of grant proposals from eligible states and Native American tribes for demonstration projects intended to reduce and address the impact of wolves on livestock operations.

Grant amounts will be contingent upon the quality and number of proposals received. Qualifying projects must include a 50 percent non-federal cost share, which may be cash or a third-party, in-kind contribution, such as volunteer efforts and donations of goods or services.

I suppose if you could ever be successful with disassociation of livestock for the wolf, what about the next litter. Do they think the environmental lesson is genetically based? STOP THEIR SPENDING OF TAXPAYER MONIES!
