This is a must watch short video about the re-introduction of wolves at Yellowstone National Park. I had goosebumps almost the whole time watching it.

We only just got our wolves back here in MI, and people are already trying to hunt the meager few hundred we have :shake: Blows my mind.

We have a pretty serious deer problem here in MI too. We lack other ungulates for the most part, and the deer carry all kinds of sicknesses and cause lots of crashes on the roads.

The deer were gone from here in northern Illinois Chicago suburbs for a long time. Now they're back. I hate the things. Dangerous as hell, especially on a bike.

I hate it when wolves ride bikes.

They are known to kill not for food but to maintain their Social Structure.

If some predators killed everybody in Manhattan it would soon return to nature and the Rivers would "change"

So wolves killed and ate a sheep, unfenced sheep I might ad, and the other sheep killed themselves by falling over one another. That's some how wolves killing not for food? If anything that shows wolves are only prone to killing prey they need to eat. You think they planned to trip one of the sheep so that over a hundred would die that they couldn't eat?

I almost didn't post anything, but it was too absurd not to.
