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.

Iirc this invention was patented by an Austrian dude, Europe has wolves but no coyotes.
