ELK PROBLEM

ELK

There wouldn't be a problem if they hadn't of wiped out all the predators. See, when ever man starts playing god he screws up the eco-system. Nature provides alot of checks and balances. Predators to prey, but then man comes along, fearing for his safety, he kills out the predators and there's nothing to keep the prey in check. Same thing in Yellowstone. They killed out the wolf population and now the elk there are over populating. So, recently they have re-introduced the wolves back into Yellowstone, inspite of what the ranchers around there said. Just like here in Alabama, they need to re-introduce predators to the deer population to keep them from eating themselves out of food.
