Red Wolf http://wwesredwolf.edublogs.org What should we do with Red Wolves?

We have a new problem.  The local newspaper learned that you were investigating the plight of the red wolves and ran an article.  Farmers in the Pungo area of Virginia Beach and northeastern North Carolina are enraged.  We need to begin making decisions about where to place the wolves.

Where is the best place for the wolves to be raised? 

When answering the question above, there are some things you should consider.

  • What are the opportunity costs?
  • Consider the business owners, fild trip opportunities, etc.
  • What is best for the wolves?

I really hope we can find a solution to this problem that will please everyone.

Sincerely,

Chuck Larsen
