If there's too many bears... Infanticide in bears is common. Almost all bears are cannibals. They eat their own babies. The whole thing is mad. And if they don't have enough food or if the males come out of the – if they're hibernating and they come out before the female does with her cubs, they'll actively seek out those cubs for food.

And they will do less of that if there's less of them and if there's more of a balance between predator and prey. And that's where it gets weird because as a person who loves nature, who are we to say you should kill a certain amount of bears and a certain amount of wolves? That seems fucked. Like we should just sort of like let it be what it is.

enjoy it but the problem is it leaks over into this strange world that we've created and this is the reality if you want to be able to go to Starbucks if you want to be able to go outside and have a cheeseburger in an outdoor patio you can't have fucking wolves everywhere okay this is just reality and we're accustomed to this artificial enclosure that we've created to keep human being safe and we've lost our perspective in what it means to be an animal in the world

Well, there's that, but there's also they don't give a fuck who planted that food. If you're in a village and your whole family survival is dependent upon you getting these vegetables that you've planted, and then elephants come in and eat all your vegetables, you could very easily starve to death. And that's real, too. And people don't want to think about that because you think of elephants.

Elephants are endangered. Yes, they are. Elephants are hunted for their ivory. Yes, they were. But also elephants are Africa is fucking huge. There's not the same amount of black bears in San Francisco as there are in rural Wyoming. Right. It's because that's the environment to live. If you went to San Francisco, like, oh, my God, black bears are extinct. But, you know, go to New Jersey.

Everywhere, right? So it's not that the animal is that, you know, you shouldn't have any of them. It's just like there should be places where they exist and places where they don't exist. And if you want to maintain a city, you're going to have to do something about the population of predators. You're going to have to do something.

It's just like how far outside of your city does human control radiate? Well, then you have ranchers, right? Okay, if you want to have a guy who grows cows so you can eat steak, you're going to have to be able to protect this guy's crop or it's not going to be profitable for him to do this. You're going to have to be able to protect his animals.
