Not surprisingly, the hue and cry over reinstating wolf hunts in the United States has been immediate, pitting the blood-thirsty anti-wolf contingent against bleeding-heart conservationists. Sheep farmers, mean-while, are licking their wounds over ever more frequent attacks on their herds. This year in France, there have been 66 attacks carried out by wolves, with one lone wolf responsible for the deaths of more than 70 sheep. In an ABC News segment earlier this year, an Idahoan ranching family reported that they had lost over 800 sheep in three years.



But the clash over what to do about wolves is not just about numbers or economics; it's about emotion. With their return, wolves revive the ancient fears expressed in fairy tales like Little Red Riding Hood and The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats. Wilhelm Grimm, one of the Brothers Grimm, described the wolf as the most evil animal of all. The Norse passed down the legend of the wolf god who would one day end the world. And don't forget that Adolf Hitler nicknamed himself "Herr Wolf."

But for every wolf-hater-and they are legion-there are wolf-lovers aplenty, and their emotions run just as high. To conservation groups, like Germany's Society for the Protection of Wolves, the wolf is, if not a friend, at least not mans enemy. In North America, wolves nave tended to avoid humans. There have been only two fatal wolf attacks on people in the last six years, and as a result, wolves are perceived as powerful but benign. The renaissant wolf is also an ecological victory-a sign, perhaps, of the reversal of the ills that humankind has wreaked on nature and the triumphant return of the wild.
