People who live in the north do eat the Cariboo, but they harvest the whole animal and nothing is wasted. The numbers harvested are sustainable.
The wolves as natural predators do not waste either.
What isn't sustainable is the killing of numbers of animals and wasting them.
Holding a wolf cull will not help if humans on the ground are in effect culling the Cariboo.
I feel that they have put two and two together, and were quite sure this would end up with the killing of wolves.
Wolves are so hated.
I very much doubt that the wolves hunting patterns would have reduced the Caribou population to that extent; or the few humans who hunt them for food.
Unless....the wolves are stuck in some way in a small unnatural territory?
