I just don't understand why they were taken off the endangered list and why people want to kill them. I mean that their numbers (to me ) just not enough. please help me to understand the policy and reasons.

  1. People use studies and mathematical analysis of predator prey models to decide when a species may become endangered. Say it is between wolves and rabbit; if the wolf population gets too high they may consume too much of their natural food source and start dying off themselves after also destroying the rabbit population. Open season is sometimes declared to help maintain the balance.

  2. Their numbers (to people who keep track of animal populations for a living) is too much.  Therefore for the safety of livestock/ domesticated animals/people/disease/their prey, etc.) their numbers need to be kept at a manageable level.

  3. It is a direct attack on the Environment, remodeling Nature will be the result , many trees will disappear making it more easy to come in with mono culture forests for the production of ethanol and there will be more space for farming.

    With the predators gone ,the deer species will have all the time to browse the upcoming tree seeds,and vast open spaces will be the effect.

    The government is well aware of this.Their focus is on world domination ,not the Environment.

    a sort of natural deforestation.

    It is also an attack on the indigenous Americans spirit world ,maybe as an alternative because we cant shoot them any more.

    Haven`t you heard ,Man kind is destined to have the world for himself.

    all of it.
