9. That would be a tough request

to fill. Many of the businesses who are in favor of wolf hunting are the usual suspects like Cabela's and Farm & Fleet, and many of the gun/hunting shops in the nearby cities. Here, right next to the park, there are few businesses and most that I am aware of aren't owned or run by ranching folks and wouldn't confirm one way or the other as to what they feel about wolves, only a few will say anything at all. I don't know any business owners who are against wolves in the park, especially, because they are well aware of the financial benefit they enjoy from wolf watchers who are now visiting YNP/GTNP. It's the tail end of the season and most visitors openly claim that they are here to see wolves. Most of the park visitors don't understand why the wolves are hunted. When I explain it to them, they are saddened at the state of ignorance in the nation as a whole.
