minus-squareperishthethought@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 年前I wonder if anyone knows whether ranchers in WY / MT lost income & were compensated by the state as well?
minus-squareotterpop@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 年前Yes, they were. The Wyoming Game and Fish Commission regularly compensates losses due to predation that have been verified.
minus-squareDasus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 年前Reintroducing wolves won’t work everywhere. Hunting can be an effective population control as well, but seeing how large and sparsely populated Yellowstone is, it’s probably why it didn’t work there.
minus-squaresnooggums@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 年前I guess the government pays for all other lost income due to natural events?
