Well I for sure learned in school that our ancestors called wolves the nurses of the forest. In our culture anyway. They're very important because by hunting old and sickly animals preferentially instead of killing indiscriminately, they improve the overall health of populations of other animals like deer or elk. Obviously it's also not great for any population to get too large because they'll destroy their own food supply. Again, release the wolves.

Fascinating, even if a gruesome thought if you reverse the analogy.
