    People think I’m joking when I say that we need to repopulate wolves and mountain lions in North America.

        I think what trips people up is that I explicitly include New Jersey for wolf reintroduction.

          I say put them everywhere they natively lived, and make it VERY bad for people if they hurt them.

            everywhere they natively lived

            sorry ma’am, your child was one of thirty five killed when we reintroduced wolves to kindercare because they were native here in the 1300s, but their comeback is something to behold, and the survivors have quite a story!

            I kid, but also, reintroduce them to areas where they’re least likely to bump up against population, all the areas they natively lived in the past are, unfortunately, overrun by humans. I live in Washington state, where we’re seeing grey wolves slowly come back. I’m all for it. And here in Seattle, we’ve always had Coyotes living around the town, on the large greenways. Keep your cats inside if you love them!

      There’s progress being made on that front. According to the internet, there are already a lot of cougars in my area.
