I am quite ready to be enlightened to the contrary, but I wonder if the problems Yellowstone had weren't the result of a protectionist mindset in the first place.

For the sake of argument. Hunters will seek out and kill the biggest and strongest. Wolves on the other hand need to be efficient and will take the slower, weak or sick animals. I would think the latter would be better for the herd overall.
