Everyone wants wolves except the people who have to actually live with them.

I'm not sure the wolves actually want to live with those people either but no one is suggesting to eradicate those people.

Honestly wolves work with smell and will actively avoid humans. Opposite to domesticated dogs which at the sight of a human will bark at a human and oftentimes attack. Having lived in multiple regions in Europe with statistical presence of wolves I have zero encounters with wolves and dozens of occurrences where domesticated dog was barking at me or chasing me.

Maybe they're saying that there are better ways to coexist with animals that were here before us, before we razed their forests, than, you know, genocide
