Today I read a very interesting chapter from a book it was called Thinking Like A Mountain and it was by Aldo Leopold. The article gets at the hart of how we view predators and how they effect there habitat.
It was about how he shot a wolf in a time were they where viewed as bad and realized that wolves stop dear from growing out of control and eating all the plants.
This reminds me that everything is in perfect balance and killing off a predator will let the prey grow in number and require more food which can destabilize an ecosystem.
