Need info on wolf/elk depredation

[DKMULEYBUCK]

So heres the deal, my seventh grade son has a science teacher that is pushing pro wolf propgana at school. He used the phrase "correct me if im wrong", so thats what i am setting out to do. I want to do this right, so I need as much published data as I can get my hands on about any thing wolf related. Mainly about the drastic decline of the yellowstone herd, predation on livestock and dogs, and wolf attacks on people. Ive been seaching the net, and ive found some info, maybe some of you out there know of some links I havnt found. Any help is appreciated. We dont need people like this pushing misinformation to our kids.

The IDFG website has lots of info, but you have to wade through it - http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/cms/wildlife/wolves/ . Here's a good report on how much depredation has increased - http://westinstenv.org/wp-content/ID WS FY 2009 Wolf Report.pdf .
