I have to say when did humans become God and decide what goes were? All animals have a right to be here, if a person doesn't like wildlife or is afraid of certain monsters, then don't go into the woods. Saber tooth died because its prey died,(and other natural reasons) cougars were killed off by us, big difference. What is suppose to happen.... only put animals in the woods that won't hurt us? Lets all live in lolly pop land and dream of pretty followers and happy talking winnie pooh bears. When we go into the woods we need to have respect, next everyone will be saying kill all the bears all they ever do is get into camps and go after people. I don't see a problem with putting wild life were it belongs as long as there is conservation done. One of the problems in Cali is because of the fires, these animals are being forced to do what they need in order to survive. Half the time these creatures are released back into there old stomping ground and no one see's them except for the scientist watching them. I would be more interested in learning about what they want to do instead of just jumping into a conclusion. We keep screwing with the balance of things and all that happens is trouble just like out west. Take away the wolf and the herd population of elk deer etc.. gets to big then throw in some nasty coyotes and things even get more out of hand. There as got to be away for humans and wildlife to live. Sorry I do not agree folks but we are slowly killing off all nature when do we stop? Who decides what animals should or shouldn't be? Lets not forget it was our ancesters who almost brought the Buffalo and other critters to extinction. One more thing more folks are killed by deer then any other animal so maybe we should just kill them off.
