Large predators are crucial for a healthy ecosystem.They cull the sick,weak and stupid from the herd.We now have too many deer here and they are getting sick,chronic wasting disease.If we had wolves this would never happen.But it's unlikely they will ever make a comeback here,too many people with cattle.There is suppose to be some red wolves left,but most have now mixed with coyotes.
Then we should encourage wolves and big cats to roam cities and get used to feeding on sick, weak and stupid humans. Hint: they're usually called "people with disabilities" these days. Strong and healthy humans wouldn't have anything to fear—truth fears no trial.
On the other hand, the deer overpopulation would just as easily be solved by hunting them more and taking over more of their habitat for farming. Humans have just bridled their own predation too much.
The Death Race would be used in large cities to control population.Mostly people looking at their cell phone would get run over.
We have hunters here,lots of them.Fish& Game put limits on what you can harvest.They should have more Doe hunts to control the population.Most of this area isn't farmland,too steep and rocky.Anyway deer like farmland also,they just love to eat at a garden to the ground.Right now they are trying to eridacate deer in the zone that seems to be hit the hardest.Chronic wasting is similar to Mad Cow.People are being told to not eat any deer that appear to be sick,don't discard the carcass on the woods,and to be careful to not get any brains or nervous system tissue on you,bring any sick dead deer in to be tested.
