I'm confused - Someone help me understand...

In YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, they are encouraging everyone to catch and do away with this non-native species (the Lake trout) that is encroaching on the native cut throat habitat and is consuming all the resources. 

A Non Native Species - causing issues for a native species - competition for resources and habitat.

So in why in Gods green earth did they introduce a NON-NATIVE WOLF?  The Canandian GREY WOLF is nearly 40% larger than the average Rocky Mountaint Grey Wolf?  And introduce a species that was already there? (They told us they werent, but they were!  I saw one with my own eyes on the highway plain as day)

This is sad - There are few babies this year.  And where are the wolves located - everywhere.  Amongst the buffalo.  They have no fear - they ARE the top of the food chain.

Pathetic...I just dont get it.

I find it hard to believe that your position might change even if it were Rocky Mountain Grey Wolves that had been reintroduced rather than the Canadian Grey Wolf. 

Or can it be assumed as a result of your "IF/THEN" clause that you would be a proponent of the reintroduction of the native Rocky Mountain Grey Wolf, which, by the way,  would have found itself at the top of the food chain.
