People hunt moose/deer so their populations are easily controlled with more permits. When I was little and the wolves were still gone, I remember my uncle being limited to 1 or 2 a season in Wyoming. People don't say no to essentially free meat. IIRC wolves were only brought back because people weren't allowed to hunt in Yellowstone Park. Wolves spreading to the rest of Wyoming, Idaho, Utah and Montana is collateral damage.
