Yellowstone: How Not To Manage A National Park https://kottke.org/15/01/yellowstone-how-not-to-manage-a-nat...
"By 1934, the Park Service acknowledged that whitetail deer, cougar, lynx, wolf, and possibly wolverine and fisher are gone from the Yellowstone.
What they didn’t say was that the Park Service was solely responsible for the disappearances."
The wolves didn't make any difference to the deer population.

It still amazes me how often people think that biologists are stupid
Wolves return to Yellowstone has being ruminated, and I say ruminated, by scientists for 70 long years
All the possible results were examinated, there were lots of reports evaluating the project and all the benefits and cons were studied for decades, by lots and lots of well trained people. The effect of wolf in environment and its role as key species is described in conferences monographs and books.
Teams of scientists studied the populations of each single big mammal and bird in Yellowstone, before and after wolves. You can find their conclusions in the libraries of all universities specialized in ecology and animal management.
The results were even better than expected, but this was a big success because it was based in a entire life of previous hard work.
We talk about reviewed, easily verifiable and painfully verified facts, not about a pulp novel written on a weekend or somebody tossing a coin. Do you really think that somebody could just upload a fakebook video linking to a fake scientific article in this field without being detected and disclosed immediately?
I had some critics or a different opinion != widely disputed;
holy moly fakebook video != science;
You have found an internet link != I must read it ASAP;
