Not at all.

Wolves don't need any help adjusting to an increase in their food supply. What you will end up with is, "What are we going to do about this wolf problem?" That's not a problem you want to have.

What you will more realistically end up with is an increase in auto insurance premiums in rural and outer suburban areas. Deer/vehicle collisions will become more common and they are expensive claims to pay.



I thought it would be obvious that I'm referring to the fact that prior to overpopulation of people, there developed a sustainable balance between wolves, elk, etc. We eliminated the wolves, and that is what led to the overpopulation of deer etc. So, the point is that we either fill the role of the wolves we eliminated or we bring back the wolves. The overpopulation of deer doesn't work.
