[QUOTE="BigGrizz, post: 1536471, member: 85529"] The demise of the population of Easter Island is only theorized as a case of over consumption and a lack of conservancy. Economists and business professors love to spout that one as a teachable case. However, I think you miss the point altogether. You, nor I have zero idea of what the balance really should be, and how we should fit into it. Also, wolves like any other predator must compete with us. You on the East coast can feel as philanthropic and naturalistic as you want about it, but there are winners and losers in competitions and I’m on Team Human. So the idea that we need to find balance is just as political as saying we need to kill them all. I can see a need in Yellowstone and other protected areas where populations are left unmanaged, but outside of those areas is a completely different matter. Outside of the parks those predators are in our world. I’m also discounting everything you said because you attempt to finish with an implication that we’re overpopulating this planet. Do you suggest genocide? I know of several environmentalists that subscribe to that idea for the sake of the planet. (Ignore the “East Coast” comment. I see you’re from Canada. The sentiment still applies.) [/QUOTE]
