#1 Nothing could go wrong with the introduction of an apex predator, right?

#2 Down in NM they're trying the same thing. Problem is that in the period of absence, nature stepped in. We have coyotes as big as wolves now. Niche filled.

#3 One could argue that the lack of apex predators is why we have such an excess of stupid people.

#5 Let 'em loose in Estes Park.

Plenty of Elk there.

#6 Let em loose in Baltimore and Chicago. Plenty of Feral Youth the packs can feed upon there.

#7 Indeed, let them loose in Estes Park, or at least in Rocky Mountain Nat. Park. Too damn many elk.

#8 #2 Would be interesting to see how long these giant coyotes will last if wolves are reintroduced.

#10 Add wolves and get major decline in big game like deer & elk, followed by decline in big game hunters with their big rifles and big political influence. Hmmm.

#11 All wildlife reintroductions should first be proven in Central Park.
