Full Version: BC wolf cull to still go ahead

It seems even a global pandemic is not enough to stop the BC wold cull. The idea is to save the Cariboo by killing the wolves.
It isn't going to help save the Cariboo and it is going to decimate the wolf population.

The Cariboo are declining in numbers and it as a serious concern. Killing wolves however isn't the answer.
The real danger to the Cariboo is habitat loss. Restore and preserve the natural habitats of the Cariboo and their numbers will improve. The wolves will thrive too and the whole ecosystem will stabilize. 

If only we would choose to do the right thing. You would think the experience of the pandemic would teach us not to mess with wildlife.
Once again, humans are attempting to shift the blame on to another species. They are blaming the wolves for the decline in caribou, whereas - as you correctly point out - the real reason is loss of habitat caused by relentless human expansion and interference. This is happening all over the world, as humans seek to expand into natural animal habitats (e.g. the Amazon forest).

That is it exactly. 
This is not going to go well for us. A cull of the apex predator is going to destabilize the ecosystem. It will make things much worse. 
We seem to be good at making things much worse. This isn't going to be good for the animals involved and somehow I don't think it will be good for us either.
When we mess up with nature, it can hit back. Most of the world is caught up in a pandemic because we messed up with nature. We better start learning soon.
