Michael Turner (I hope I have the name right) argued that it was
not inhumane to bring coyote's to an island overpopulated by Deer,
to thin out the population.  Now listen carefully, please:

OF COURSE IT WOULD BE INHUMANE!!!!!  The great majority of everything
that happens in nature is inhumane!!!!!  That's what we call "nature"
(world without man).  BUT:

	It is okay for predators and their quarry to occur 
	naturally together in the wild, and Man should accept 
	this.  It is INHUMANE for man to introduce predators into 
	a restricted environment to attack quarry that have no 
	avenue of escape.  Man should take responsibility for the 
	workings of nature only with the greatest forethought and 
	care.
