We need to restore the original balance, which involves a lot of wolves. But we’re forgetting a huge part of the equation, bison. If we release predators where we’ve removed all prey they would’ve eaten of course they’d going to come for the closest thing possible, cows.
We also need to repopulate north America with large herbivores. Let’s just pay farmers to release cows for them to hunt. Or breed bison to release, they do so way faster than cows.
