Justin Webb: 我在爱达荷州的偏远地区长大,从小就热爱户外活动。多年来,我目睹了狼群数量过多对当地生态系统造成的负面影响,特别是对鹿群数量的减少。这促使我投身于狼群管理工作,并致力于通过捕猎等手段来控制狼群数量,维护生态平衡。我个人经历也印证了狼群数量失控的危害。我曾养过一只狼狗,它无法被驯服,最终不得不放弃。这让我意识到,狼群的自然属性与人们理想化的形象存在差异。在爱达荷州,单纯依靠狩猎来控制狼群数量并不有效,因为狼的活动范围广,迁徙速度快,难以捕捉。捕猎则更有效,因为它利用了狼的领地意识,提高了捕获率。捕猎一只狼的成本很高,包括陷阱、燃料、时间成本等。此外,还存在人为破坏陷阱等问题,增加了狼群管理的难度。 Dirk Durham: 作为一名户外运动爱好者,我对狼群管理问题也十分关注。通过与Justin Webb的对话,我了解到狼群数量过多对当地生态系统造成的负面影响,以及控制狼群数量的必要性。我赞同Justin Webb的观点,认为捕猎是控制狼群数量更有效的方法,并且需要投入大量的时间、精力和资金。同时,我也意识到,非法破坏陷阱等行为对狼群管理工作造成了负面影响。
