Watched the whole interview.
And thats why when cats 🐈 come on my land I welcome them with a .243
not quite buying that coyotes just reproduce more once you kill them. Listening to this guys speeches and much of this info he picked up for research papers. Hes an activist, not the researcher. I doubt very much that people studied the dens of coyotes during persecution, which btw didn't happen in Yellowstone recently, and determine that they just keep increasing liters. All animals produce more liters in favorable conditions and breed and produce less when stressed conditions. I like his message as a whole though other than this point and we do need to conserve the Coyote.
Wolves have been known to over produce and drive all deer away from regional areas. It's a recent repeated fact that conservationists and wardens note. The deer dont always get eaten but change regions.Animals dont regulate themselves. Wolves often kill and leave meat behind or kill for territory. They are NOT moral hunters or conservationists. Wolves and Coyotes kill the slowest, oldest, youngest and weakest animals that they can and if they have a choice to hunt and chase or just hop a fence and get a free sheep at night in a farm. They get the free meat from the farm. So do bears, lions etc… It's not as cut and dry as this guy says.
Deists tell fairy tails to get a point across and vilify men w guns. No need to any more. We have a nation of great conservationists at hand now.
Guys you need to check out this youtube channel about CLIMATE CHANGE "Štefan Vaľo Climate change". It makes lot of sense
