Human 'wolf packs' in conservation study


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

A research project involving groups of people replicating the behaviour of wolves has begun in a forest near Loch Ness.

Project Wolf aims to examine the effect large predators have on ecosystems, and not just the animals they hunt.

Volunteers working in teams of three "wolves" have been moving through woodland at Dundreggan Conservation Estate in Glenmoriston.

The groups disturb deer which feed on young trees and other plants.

All sorts of :huh: here. I mean (a), for a start, how are they going to make sure that the human persons accurately replicate the behaviour of wolves? have they been on an intensive course studying lupine behaviour? All they seem to be doing is just strolling about through the woods. Well, surely anyone could do that, and wouldn't need a, no doubt generous, grant to do it.

Barking up the wrong tree?

of course they  need government money to do it.  you need government money to sit on the toilet.  as for releaving the deer population open season on the deer.  allow the poor to hunt when ever they want to.

What about... using some real wolves... they would be much more efficient that apes trying to replicated wolf behavior...
