Hehe, agree to a certain degree.

I see this on a number of issues.

That said we have somewhat effective countermeasures against kids getting hit by cars: we lower speed limits around schools and elsewhere where children walk, and we built sidewalks and put up fences.

As for why the wolves are more newsworthy that is easy to explain: the cars aren't news at all anymore. Wolves returning are news.
