I do want to say I'm not saying a pack can't choose to harass another nearby pack if they're feeling crowded, but they shouldn't be territorial outside their pack. What I am saying is that OS wolves couldn't go attacking NWF wolves for being "on their buffer zone turf" in the sense that they have been now, because in reality OS' true pack claim is the heart of their territory. They can harass them for other reasons but can't claim ownership over an adjacent area.
If I purchase a plot of land, I could tell someone building next to me that their 8 ft. fence is encroaching on my vision for my land (or in this case an adjacent pack is encroaching on the prey population or something like that), but I can't tell him to screw off because he's on my land... because he isn't. I can't tear his fence down because it's technically on his land, not mine. I could paint it an unfavourable colour on my side or throw darts at it on my side, though, because it is adjacent to my land, i.e. in my buffer zone. However, it wouldn't make sense for me to go paint his front door a different colour, or for a wolf pack to have disputes outside an overlap zone with another wolf pack, because it has nothing to do with the issue.
I feel I'm not articulating well what I'm thinking so, if no one else answers it better, I'll come back to this later with revised thoughts. I get your concern, but I feel things will inevitably have to be adjusted somewhat for this to work properly. That's just me.
