Except that human hunters do a much less efficient job, they do it
seasonally, and use very different selection criteria.  And wolves eat more
than human-preferred game animals.  We are no substitute for wolves as the
top of the food chain.  Bring back the wolves to NS!

   A key point about the wolf reintroduction project in Yellowstone Nationa=
l Park is that there is no hunting allowed inside the park. Outside of a na=
tional park hunters would have taken care of the overpopulation of elk and/=
or deer. This is what is happening throughout most of the former range of t=
he wolf. Human hunters have replaced it as the top predator in the terrestr=
ial ecosystems.
