We remember nothing. When the predators are killed off, the creatures they preyed on over-reproduce and many of them not only starve, they damage the environment before they do. I lived in Taos when deer were starving because wolves and coyotes had been hunted nearly to extinction, for their skins. It’s extremely ugly.

Very effective how you described each of the five tenets of CC and related them to this issue.

This shows you the level of competence at U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; I not only doubt their understanding of how wrong and stupid this is, I doubt the science to support it. Time to use the courts to shut this down quick.

Thank you Ed for another excellent article on compassionate conservation. This so called proposal is so outrageous. I hope you’ll keep up posted.
