That's kind of human's modus operandi, whether it be breed favoring cows and chickens, modifying plants through grafting, building roads that impact natural boundaries and movements, the list is probably endless.

At my university, we had a nature preserve, but the deer were eating it to destruction. They had a plan to cull the population while the students were on break, using bows, but a small group somehow foiled the plan in the name of protecting the deer...

There are a bunch of competing interests about what conservation means and how we should go about it.

I've never understood the need for a distinction between artificial and natural selection. Humans have needs based on our genetics and environment interactions that lead to other selection pressures. Humans are of nature, it seems pointless to call it artificial.
