If you talk to people where I live, basically southeastern Ontario, not too far from the 401.... Right here in the city of Ottawa you have had moose, deer, coyotes, foxes running along Highway 417, the Queensway. These animals are becoming more and more accustomed to man, as are moose.
Michigan, for instance, traded us some turkeys. I think you're aware of the reintroduction of wolves there, the timber wolves, the bigger wolves. Coyotes will take down a small deer. I think what you'll find, and what my solution to this is.... Yes, we need to have that natural balance, but what we can also do is increase the bag limit on animals, provided we do so with good science and good conservation. I think the witnesses coming up will talk about good science and good conservation.
There is a balance, you're right. But I think what's happening is what Mother Nature intended. We are a species. We are a very highly evolved species, but animals are becoming accustomed to our houses and our traffic, etc. We're going to have to use science and good conservation to figure out ways that we can adapt to their adaptation to us.
