The voting map for this bill was hilarious; all of the districts that voted "yes" were in cities, all of the rural areas voted "no".

The city folk are voting to literally release wolves into the rural communities that voted against it.

This urban/rural divide happens all the time. Someone else in this thread mentioned gun laws as one example. My personal example is in Pennsylvania, the state legislature passed a bill[1] appointing an unelected special prosecutor to handle public transit crime. It affects most of the city of Philadelphia (and nowhere else in PA) and overrides the democratically elected DA that state Republicans don't like (and who they unsuccessfully tried to impeach). The yes vote? Mostly rural lawmakers imposing their will on urban voters who have no ability to have a say in who this special prosecutor will be.
