[QUOTE="Dale00, post: 3012896, member: 688"] Herbivore populations require healthy predator populations or adequate levels of hunting to keep their numbers and impact under control. Uncontrolled herbivore populations grow in numbers until they overgraze the plant community, greatly reducing their food supply. The result is starvation typically leading to massive disease outbreaks. In a well balanced predator prey situation, predators benefit the health of herbivore populations by taking sick and aging herbivores. This is fundamental wildlife management biology that goes back to Aldo Leopold, the father of wildlife management. Leopold was a conservationist not a tree hugging preservationist. He started out supporting the elimination of predators but saw up close the disastrous results of doing so and reversed his opinion. Predators do cause harm to livestock producers. [/QUOTE]
