Quote:“We have seen some individual consequences of inbreeding, such as dental defects, skeletal defects and sterility in some males. But we see the consequence of inbreeding most clearly in the size of the family groups,” Flagstad said.Also
The size of family groups is determined each winter by examining tracks and scat.
"What we see is that parents who are severely inbred have fewer offspring. A smaller proportion of their pups grow to adulthood. The close kinship seems to affect the survival of pups and reproduction in adult wolves,” says Flagstad.
Quote:In many of the inbred wolves, researchers found many identical genes from both the parents. Over time, this strong genetic similarity may make the animals more susceptible to genetic diseases and the species less adaptable overall
And
Quote:For long-term survival, Flagstad believes that it is important that new wolves come in from the outside world.
Let me refer back to your earlier quote:

From your own link which you refer to as the "death nail" (it's knell btw)

Quote:Inbreeding does not seem to have hurt the Scandinavian population so far, but Flagstad says there have been some effects.*emphasis mine*
Obviously inbreeding does not cause the massive amounts of genetic defects you claim it does.
I rest my case.
