Farmers receive huge services from wolves, maybe they should pay for them also.
Wolves remove wild grazers increasing the amount of pasture available for cattle. Wolves clean scabies in deer, lyme disease, and bovine tuberculosis in wild boars that would otherwise end in the cattle or the farmer. Wolves reduce the coyotes population. Reduce the car accidents against deer crossing the road. Wolves protect trees and allow forests to grow. Without mention that wolves provide huge and easily measurable economical benefits to tourism.

- allannienhuis 6y agoIf the money comes from the public purse, they are paying for them also... Seems fair to me.
