Wolves belong there and have stimulated the economy and over all health of the forest. Its like a smaller version of corporate non sense. The minute you affect somebodies monetary gain, it makes that thing "BAD". Which is absurd.

The Puma #s are actually stable and have not really shifted one way or another, and while some areas have seen the occasional puma predation by wolves other areas have seen wolves being preyed upon by puma. Depends on the tree cover which is a means for escape for the puma. But both of these animals have coexisted for ever, they will always find ways to survive together.

I would like to read that article if you ever find time. I great doc to watch is with Bone smith which was done a year or two ago.

Here is the doc title

The important thing is that you finally get the point, people however they are, protested, that was my point. On the wolf side, there is no problem, like I stated before, they are going very well in many places where they have been reintroduced.

On the puma issue, the article from NatGeo magazine don't mention population numbers, but at least in Yellowstone, they are been affected, because wolves are dominant over pumas, in that particular area. I have never argue about the fact that wolves and pumas have coexisted, that is a obvious fact. What I said is that now that they are together again, and with scientific techniques, scientists are discovering "new" behaviors on pumas, but maybe those "new" are actually the "original" ones, before humans changed the primal habitat. That is the point of Chadwick too.
