QA made no mention of forcing anything on city dwellers.
I don't believe you have any personal knowledge of QA's actions on which to base such a statement. As you pointed out, the population of cities is overwhelmingly greater than that of rural areas, so it is the actions of those in the cities that resulted in reintroduction of predators and not inaction by those who opposed it.
I think they eradicated bison so the indians would have to move out or die. Wolves were just a virus to cattle that needed to be cleaned up.
It is absolutely true that the US government actively encouraged the indiscriminate killing of the buffalo with the intent of starving the native tribes into submission. However, there were too many buffalo for it to be successful, and the actual near extinction occurred in too short a time frame for killing by humans to have caused it. Here is an article on the subject, one not particularly popular with the anti-hunting crowd.

Quick question, how do those that live in rural areas have the power to dictate what happens in cities? From my understanding most of what happens within cities comes purely from how those that live in cities voted in local elections. Are you saying rural areas are the majority rule in the country and making people that live in cities do what rural people want?

The eradication of bison was for a completely different reason. I feel that the bison argument is not applicable here. Had you said grizzlies, I’d agree.
Thank a dem from the cityHere in Mn. canoe country they continue to be loosing their fear of man, no surprise as we've got no season on them.
This year during deer hunting season I saw more wolves then deer and news like this just keeps getting more common.
Incidents of wolves approaching homes and killing dogs raise concerns in Cook County | WTIP
Sightings of wolves traveling through the Superior National Forest and roaming the Arrowhead region are a relatively common occurrence for many Cook County residents and visitors. In recent months, however, some sightings and incidents in Cook County have involved wolves approaching people’s...wtip.org
Thank you
It absolutely applies. The eradication of bison destroys any credibility of our ancestors as conservationists so deferring to their “expertise” in any matters regarding wildlife management is foolish
It’s called being objective. You blindly spit rhetoric like “woke” and assume that anyone who has an opinion that doesn’t align with yours must be some liberal snowflake obama lover. Whether it was over hunting, a virus introduced by cattle, or a combination of those and other factors, it is clear that white settlers destroyed a thriving environment. The bison did fine with the wolves so why don’t the elk? Oh yeah it’s because they were driven from their native range in the lower plains up into the mountains where wolves have the strategic advantage. Going back to my main point, using the argument that our ancestors killed off wolves for a reason will get destroyed in any discussion that involves people outside of this group. If you want to convince non hunters that wolves are bad and you use that argument you will not get good results.
That was the government. The same government that is infesting us with wolves. There's a pattern here.
To be accurate, the bison were NOT eradicated, they were saved from eradication by conservationists. Then there is the recovery of the whitetail, the beaver,and the wild turkey, all due to the efforts of conservationists.
