Well maybe since those looneys are so into protecting the environment, they can either import excess food sources, or evacuate the endangered food sources.
Doing nothing will mean the virtual elimination of the moose population.
With no baby moose to kill, the wolf packs will kill each other.
Either we do something and manage the national park or do nothing.
The results of doing nothing seem apparent. Which would you choose ?
I opened this thread expecting a story about Michigan democrat politicians fighting each other over declining district populations and redistricting...
Powderized coyote urine is your best weapon.
I'm serious!
This is easy. Shoot some danged wolves. What we are witnessing is a normal long term cycle between Predator and Prey. I would say that the wolves have been overpopulated for quite a while to knock down the moose herd so quickly.
The native Americans managed their wolf and bear populations for thousands of years.
It worked nicely.
We should go back to basics.
By basics, do you mean realizing whatever we subsidize we get more of? So who would thing wealth redistribution would work?
Wouldn't you prefer to be able to quietly take them down with a bow from your upstairs window?
For a long time, deer, moose, etc were kept in check by humans hunting them. It seemed preferable to having predators that would just as easily target human children if given a chance
They "wolfed" him down!
By basics, I mean allowing ranchers and farmers to shoot bears or wolves that are harassing or killing their cattle or sheep...without a big hassle or big fines.
The US Fish & Wildlife Service is slowly allowing ranchers and farmers to defend themselves and their livestock in a few states. In the recent past, the ranchers had to get a government wildlife officer to drive out to the ranch to give permission first.
It was hard to get an officer on weekends and at night and hard to get the wolves to wait for the officer to show up. It was not enough to show the foot prints, claw marks, and bite marks on the victims...the officer had to watch the attack taking place.
A very unreasonable standard.
"But the rival pack's brazen invasion of another's territory was a sign — the wolves are hungry."
The featherless bipeds are next. The featherless bipeds are next. The featherless bipeds are next.
Peterson has been living off the taxpayer dime for decades. Now he's hunting for a taxpayer grant to study the affect of global warming on the moose population.
The National Park bureaucrats have devastated the fishing and boating community on the island. The eco-fascists tried to throw all boating visitors off the island by refusing to maintain docks. The boaters had to band together to assert their rights to use the island, spending $200,000 in court to force these bureaucratic fascists to do their job.
I have no use for federal bureaucrats and their untenured con-men who abuse this property.
The federal fascists should be thrown off the island and it should be returned to its rightful owners - the people of Michigan.
The idyllic natural balance described in the article by what sounds like a bureau-scientist, is a warm fuzzy delusion.
It is not unknown for predators to kill off enough of the young that the species goes locally extinct.
For example, while the cougaur was "protected" by the Panther Panderers fraudulently spending ESA and other money on a cat with a population of some 32,000 animals, their "endangered" cat helped the Desert Bighorn Sheep over the cliff.
Now that population sleeps the long night of extinction.
Good going, AgencyPersons!
"The federal fascists should be thrown off the island and it should be returned to its rightful owners - the people of Michigan."
A big ole giant bump to that!
Bring some of those wolves down to "troit. Cull some the dog population.
