3. Thank you for this wonderful video. None of this had occurred to me, although I'm a fan of wolf reintroduction.

I know this isn't popular around here, where I live, in New Jersey but the extinction of the Puma here has had similar consequences. Today, the main predator for deer is the automobile.

I personally wouldn't have much objection to wolves in New Jersey either, but don't expect it will ever happen.
