Paying for tolerance: rural citizens' attitudes toward wolf depredation and compensation

Article Abstract:

Multivariate analysis of responses regarding tolerance of wolves in a rural Wisconsin region indicates that the most accurate predictor of tolerance is social group, with bear hunters being the least tolerant followed by livestock farmers and general residents. While compensation was approved by respondents as a tolerance incentive, no evidence was found to indicate it has an affect on tolerance levels.
