Defenders of Wildlife

[mermaid]

We are ALL part of the food chain, and when one "segment" of the chain is disturbed/weakened/kinked/out of whack, everything else gets thrown out of balance.  Even though I don't like hunting, I understand the need for it.  When I was old enough to understand, my dad's explanation to me for the deer hunting season went something like this...Sure you think deer are beautiful, they are beautiful animals, but if there are too many of them, some of them will starve over the winter because there won't be enough food for all of them.  A cruel picture, but true.

Wolves are part of the food chain, and where they have been eliminated, other wildlife has quickly multiplied, throwing nature out of balance.  I'm not saying that wolves shouldn't be controlled at some point...but let them be protected until they recover to the levels they were at BEFORE they were almost hunted to extinction...extinction is permanent...
