So why do you think they are re-introducing them?
I partly agree with TP, but I see his reasoning as secondary to the real goal and that is to control the masses by controlling and centralizing food distribution.
Consider the recent so-called food safety bill that fortunately died in the House. It wasn't about safety at all. It was about having a single source for seed stock, banning heirloom varieties, farmers markets and bartering.
Problem is how do you control largely self-suficient rural folk that will take exception to that control? You do what the US govt did to the American Indians......you starve them into compliance. Most folks living in rural backwater areas won't starve out as long as there is a healthy wildlife population, but the govt just can't and start gunning down the game populations without upsetting the delicate sensibilities of urbanites like they did with the bison. So you reintroduce an apex predator that has been wiped out of its origninal range for over a century to do your killing for you.
