Commenting on the cost of
wolf contrel, ‘L'Orsa said,
‘In view of the cost we seem
to be incurring already for
band-aid predator control,
and when we consider the
additional costs probably
required for the type of long-

term program which would
better satisfy public opinion,
then a com-
pensationprogram to help
the rancher recover some of
his losses to predators,
begins to make economic
