When I was a kid I would get so upset that a wolf was always villain-ized.
Now I see why they are.
But I think monkeys are so much worse. We watched a documentary of a monkey(colombus???) eating a Pygmy antelope of some kind. Was eating it alive. Took twenty minutes for it to die. We had to turn the program off.

Its not just monkeys. Empathy is not an emotion found in the animal world. Monkeys gotta eat. Animals feel no more remorse for eating another animal alive than you do for ripping a carrot out of the ground and eating it. A carrot that is still alive. Plant the top back and it will grow. Predation is a part of the natural world and we humans are natural predators.

All the various wolf reintroduction programs are completely lacking in valid reasons for their existence and implementation. Can anyone provide a good reason for this?

Our forefathers had the commonsense to systematically eliminate predators that directly competed with them in killing game. Back then it could mean the difference between eating and starving.

Today humans are much more effective at managing game populations than any predator will ever be. So that argument is invalid.

I strongly suspect these predator reintroduction programs were pushed by anti-hunter liberal agendas. What's incredible to me is that they get some biologists to support this stuff.

It's not just wolves either. Raptors nationwide need to be removed from federal protection.

Here in PA they reintroduced fisher. Why? Yeah, it's a cool trapping opportunity (the one we are allowed to catch each season) but what biological reasoning supports that decision? Fisher have put a hurting on an already struggling turkey population. Personally, I'd much rather hunt turkeys than trap one fisher a year.

The lesson is sss.
