The wolves already have them and wolves have no mercy. To pay will embolden them by giving them a sense of sucess, this is the last thing you want to do with this type of people. If no one pays they will quit risking their lives for nothing. Wolves would rather attack the weak, the strong present them with danger and injury. I understand, when it comes to loved ones we want to do all we can, I'm not saying this wouldn't be the hardest decision anyone would have to make but, at some point the wolves need to be stopped from preying on us, so why not at the start. We might not save a loved one but we could help others by not rewarding the wolves for their bad behavior.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
