    I feel like you are assuming I’m against you. We agree that this is the correct thing to do. I’m just trying to explain why it isn’t going to happen. We didn’t get here by accident. People are garbage. Why would we suddenly behave any differently? People only care about what affects them in the moment.

    Imagine telling a random person they have two choices.

    Choice number one is business as usual, people hunt down the overpopulated animals, they get food out of the deal and the ecosystem is preserved.

    Choice number two is bringing in some wolves who will achieve the same end goal, except now people don’t get the food and you gotta be extra careful being outside at night if you live anywhere near the tree line (and potentially anywhere in town depending on the size).

    This is also assuming that it works out as we hope and the wolves don’t become overpopulated themselves due to easy hunting and living conditions because of all the oblivious prey that don’t realize they are even on the menu.
