it's probably a joke but it's a bad one.

stray dogs are just trying to survive and it's always people who put them into their predicament.

you should be hunting those people and make them pay to rehouse or deal with the wolves who gave up the wild to partner with humans

Don't hate the wolves, they're also just trying to survive on land that is "claimed" by human parasites.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

So true, leave the wolves be!!

healthy wolf packs keep the other wildlife in check and create a balance that is best for all the wild creatures

add in a beaver and you can create a utopia for wild life

FWIW, that's how ecosystems work.

Conservationist hunters (humans) endeavor to manage herd sizes in order to keep illness and age from devastating the health of target groups.

For example, if a herd of deer is allowed to grow beyond the size its available food sources can sustain, the older, injured, young, and/or less-capable members (ie. fast, agile, alert, etc) will eat the food that otherwise healthy and viable ones need to support the herd's collective success and thus decreasing (starvation, infection, etc.) the number of healthy individuals among them available to maintain the herd for the future... 🙇🏼‍♂️

human hunters rarely take the weak and sick, causing the overall health of the prey animals to be diminished.

wolves usually take the weak and aged to leave healthy and young herds

You'll notice that I prominently included the word "conservationist", friend. Please adjust your argument to avoid diluting or destabilizing your understanding of the specific topic.

naaa what I said shouldn't be taken personally unless you personify someone who thinks they are helping by hunting for sport

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

It wasn't taken personally, son. You're just wrong, is all.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org -1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)
