Why are you still here? What part of unsustainable do you not get? What part of ecosystem dynamics do you not get? This year Montana FWP eliminated all cow hunting for youth, archery, and handicap hunters do to low population numbers in area 250 due to wolf predation on elk herds. Why? The reason is the lack of understanding biological principles, or worse, ignoring them to appease a certain element of society. Why do we not re-introduce wolves to the greater Chicago area, where they once roamed?
WTF????????????? ecosystem biology to political biology? What are you talkin about? Why is killin off a species not political but introducing one is? Why is introducing a species considered pandering to a certain element of society and bad........only because it is not you being pandered too. I believe it is economic biology you are really trying to implement. In your world only animals that can be cashed in are worthy. Wolves are killin elk without compensating you, thus bad.
I assure you there are plenty of REAL hunters that can quite effectivly compete with wolves. TRY it yourself and see if your up to the challenge.
It is your agument that makes no sence. Is there not both native Americans and Americans of European decent living side by side in Montana and Idaho. By your argument this is not possable.
