[QUOTE="ddillon, post: 1521204, member: 78082"] The topic at hand is questioning the "wisdom" of wolf eradication. Aldo Leopold covered this topic in the 40s with an interesting study in Yellowstone. Find Find references to three articles below that give more color to the issues around wolf (top predator) necessity in an ecosystem. Yes, some of the reading is a bit "tree hugging" in its presentation, but the message is clear. The wolf serves a purpose in a balanced ecosystem, albeit a threat to adjacent livestock. The wolf's control of elk herds is well documented. As stated in earlier posts, as the prey numbers go up so do the predators and vice versa. Happy reading.
