Gray Wolves to Be Removed from Endangered Species List

Human hunters are, as of right now, an integral component of keeping wild animals from overpopulating. If you pull the human hunters, the herd sizes will explode (since we've driven away/contained their natural predators), and many of them will starve to death.

Whatever your thoughts on hunting, it's part of the predatory/prey cycle throughout the world. It's also a not-so-distant tradition from our history that goes back millions of years.

So you are saying that we should kill animals, in cold blood and painfully, because we broke their habitats.

What if instead of killing them, to patch a flawed system, we work on rebuilding their habitats?

Also there are many ways of controlling the numbers of a species, killing them is just the easy one.
