Or let's somehow inject them with something that makes them more fertile, or breed our own wolves and release them into the wild. Does that solve your problem? Because you can't undo what's been done. So what is your master plan to fix it, since you have a degree in the field? And why haven't you implemented it yet? And so you agree that for example, deer, will explode in population until they use up all the natural resources and start dying off... aka, our resources, and other animals' resources, thus we resort to hunting. So you're saying that despite all of the feral hogs that humans kill with guns, traps, and poisons, there is still a problem, right? So would that problem not be EVEN WORSE with NO human intervention at all? Sounds like it would be. Wouldn't humans have to be the ones to introduce their natural predator, whatever that may be? Wouldn't that have consequences? I know how the food chain works. We are at the top. We do what is necessary to keep our way of advanced life sustainable. Obviously humans didn't dictate 99.9% of wildlife populations. Humans haven't even been around that long. Not to mention nature has its own animals become extinct despite our efforts. Just look at pandas. Those dumb animals don't even want to procreate anymore, thus they should be extinct. But humans intervene and show them panda porn (no joke) just to make it work so we can keep looking at fluffy pandas. Is this wrong? Should we just let them go extinct? It's clearly a species that should be dead. But they look cute, so we do our best human intervention to keep them alive. But guess what, there are 7 billion people on this planet now. 7 billion humans. Who need food. And in some places, have overgrown their natural resources and spread more than the earth will naturally let them live. So what do we do? We figure out ways to fix that, and one of those ways is hunting to prevent certain animals from decimating the landscape that we use to feed these people. You want to help fix this? Go tell them to wear some condoms. Like I said, I live in the real world, not the ideal world. I think wolves are awesome, and humans shouldn't kill them. But they did, and now it's done. And now we have a deer problem. So how to fix it? Hunting is one of the ways we use. |
We have been releasing the wolves back in the wild in the USA (if you missed the programs about the Yellowstone wolves) in Yellowstone and a few other parts of northern US.
If by resource you mean the plants in people's yard that the deer eat then yes. They will eat those plants or as much as they can (they actually create a deer browse line where you can see up to a certain height almost all vegetation eaten in areas of heavy deer population). I am not against hunting in any way considering that is part of what I went to college for. Hunting is apart of wildlife I will not deny that but I am just trying to state that one needs to look at the big picture and realize what did we do/are we doing wrong that put us in this situation. To be frank the handling of wildlife in the USA is piss fucking poor. While it has improved in some areas it has a far long way to go. We don't even know how to grow food properly in the USA. So if we can't even grow our food right then we can't do shit right.
