Local study shows acceptance of wolves in five rural towns

Opinion may hinge on experience with wolves

The delisting of wolves has made their presence in the state no less contentious. There are groups who would like to see more wolves on the landscape and groups who would like to see fewer. Several studies have been done regarding public opinion of wolves, with the most recent of those being completed by Laurie Groskopf of Tomahawk, Wis. Her study, entitled Wolves: The Wisconsin Rural Perspective looks at five rural towns in the state to gauge the feelings of only those living in rural areas. A study with this focus has not been done. Groskopf is a member of many organizations concerned with wolf management such as Wisconsin Wolf Facts, but decided to take on the study herself.
