Let me start off by saying that to many animals are killed for the dubious reason of culling them, or supposedly they cause problems with or for humans. If wildlife is left alone they will police their own numbers through predation, lack of food or natural diseases. The problems with human animals is an easy fix, educate humans how to live around wild animals, show them that it’s not okay to allow children to be unsupervised in areas with wild animals. We must stop this idea that the government has that it’s perfectly fine to kill animals because they are considered a problem. We certainly don’t do this to problematic human animals, why exactly are non human animals killed because we can’t or won’t live among them? We need to find better solutions to what is often a human created problem. I grew up around bears wandering around and I never heard of anyone getting hurt or killed by those bears. Why? Because we learned that this is their land and we need to learn how to live around them. I live in a different place now, but I do come across wild animals and it will never be a problem because I know what I need to do to be safe.
