Well, that certainly is a very good example of your stupidity!! Hint:
that sentence would show an intelligent person that there IS a problem
with them because of the roads.
What do the roads have to do with anything. Wolves move through the
woods just fine.
Wolves, like all intelligent species prone to the laws of nature, take
the path of least resistance.
I suspect there are other forces at work here. My guess is that there
is a thriving hunting industry for the caribou and other big
herbivores and the government wants them to be plentiful.
The indigenous people have hunted caribou forever, as have bears,
wolves, etc. When you shift the delicate balance in nature, it's never a
good outcome.
I am not sure what the natural control on wolves is there but I
suspect they are under pressure too.
See above, ie: balance of nature.
