Pandora said:I remember seeing a documentary about wolf reintroduction at Yellowstone. Apparently the forests and plants had started disapperaring and they finally figured out it was because of the deer there. They were eating everything to the point where it was destroying the forests (and the habitat of other animals, who also began disappearing). The wolves brought the deer population back under control and the forests began to grow back. Course a lot of people were against the reintroduction, fearing for the safety of the campers and stuff. But if they didn't control the deer somehow there wouldn't be much of a park left!
People make such a stink about killing deer. But then they have no problem buying those nice clean prepackaged steaks they get at the grocery store. Or chicken that was raised in a cage so small the bird can't even turn around in it. That seems so much more inhumane to me. People are such hypocrites. The only reason they fuss about killing deer is because they are cute. If they were ugly, or more dangerious towards humans they'd be demanding that someone kill them.
i saw that same show. it was really interesting, and i remember being very impressed that they figured it all out! i've always had a thing for wolves.
