Elk and deer do not need to
be saved from wolves or other predators; they have established
millenniums of natural balance for mutual benefit. It is the blood sport
killers (hunters) who are the additive problem.
Humans kill 27 million animals daily for consumption, millions more yearly from hunting and “management” and this is not counting the sea life. Humans kill a million sharks every year. Animal farming is one of the most damaging, not to mention cruelest and harmful things we do to the planet, the environment (land, sea and air); it is also eating up wilderness and forest and jungles.
In 2010, per Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Outdoors Magazine (March-April 2011), Montana “sportsmen” killed 51,000 whitetail deer, 44,000 mule deer, 25,000 elk and 19,000 pronghorn, not counting approximately 1,300 black bear and thousands of birds in sporting fun.
Man is crueler than any alien so far imagined or presented in alien movies. Man is working himself toward extinction (“meatinction”) and most other species with him. We may have the planet at a tipping point in global warming, which also has disastrous effects on much land and sea animal life.
The wolves and other predators are healthy factors in the wilderness ecology. Game farming for sports killing is not. We have several major species on the brink and trophy hunters and poachers and farmer/ranchers are still going at the slaughter.
What humans are doing is not healthy for us or the planet or the other animals.
