Wolves cull doesn’t address caribou problem

Numbers of the caribou will continue to fall, wolves or no wolves

My objection to the wolf cull has nothing to do with the cuteness of the wolves. Until  the caribou habitat improves, by reducing roads, logging, habitation, the numbers of the caribou will continue to fall, wolves or no wolves.

Not only do wolves insure the health of the herd, by removing sick and weak animals, but, being in a predator-prey relationship, the number if wolves rise and fall with the number of caribou, Therefore the “cull” is a cruel and worthless exercise.
