Carcassman,


I understand your point (perspective), but I think your analogy is terrible. There isn’t much of a downside (IMO) of having wolves return to the Yellowstone area as it is a national park. Parks should be left as a stronghold for completely wild ecosystems free of the involvement or management of man. That is starkly different than sweeping regulations or changes encompassing larger areas that are also National Forest, State, Timber, or private lands that are specific for hunting/recreating. Predator control is important in areas of human development not only to allow humans an opportunity to recreate, hunt over decent numbers of game, but also for safety. Humans are also predators and a part of the ecosystem. That seems to be an often forgotten piece of wildlife management.
