2. Or, the rancher...

Should tend to his cattle more carefully, then the wolves won't get his cattle.

I live in wolf country and have studied them and cattle interactions and in most cases, the rancher doesn't do the job well.

Cattle don't belong in the ecosystem.

Been fighting the wolf wars for a couple decades, you comment is among the most ignorant on the landscape. If you had any idea about nature and how the cattle industry has been fucking it up for everyone else for over a century and that's one of the reasons for many problems in the west, but I digress.

Killing the wolves won't solve the problem, ranchers actually doing their jobs, or removing the cattle from wolf habitat, is the more realistic answer.
