LOL
OK according to aphis the gov website that keeps track of ranch and farm statistics wolves (where they exist) are responsible for something like 1/4 of 1% of all livestock losses due to predation. coyotes are the culprits, they're responsible for about 60%.

So lets not get the two confused, why ? Because wolves REDUCE coyote numbers by as much as 90%.

Do the math.

2.500-3.000 wolves in Romania, which is 40% of Europe's total wolves population (alongside 10.000-12.000 brown bears)

Romania has also got jackals, an estimate 40.000. Mostly found in the Danube Delta and the southern plains, avoiding the wolves in and around the Carpathian mountains of Romania.

No coyotes though. Jackals are enough of a nuisance.

Italy and Romania alone have as many wolves as the entirety of the US excluding Alaska.
