which, if people believe them, can result in unwarranted fear and some horrendous wildlife policies. Wolf videos come to mind and are immediately an issue in Colorado where reintroduction has been met with expected resistance for natural behaviors (e.g., going after calves or sheep--something addressed by state reimbursement and relocation programs), but far more wild antagonism based on some horrible fake assertions--aided by fake videos.
