Thousands of animals are dying in Oostvaardersplassen

If one has the ability to help someone or somthing in need then it is our obligation as humans to do so. To do otherwise condemns us.

Humans made the problem by introducing these animals to this environment. I say bring in wolves thatll balance it out naturally

With no natural predators present, HOW did no one see this as the end result?

Why the hell would 'biologists' introduce such a huge number of animals into an area without looking into the ecosystem, and if there are any natural predators to keep the population from exploding? Isn't that pretty basic stuff?! Obviously this was going to happen. Absolute morons.

Without carnivores to kill off some of the weak,sick old or young this was bound to happen. Idiots

Such a nature reserve without top predators? :)

This is what happen when prey animals are located in an artificial park without predators. It's so simple it hurts. We can't wash our conscience by throwing animals around without adding animals that we consider harmful for our precious livestock (I said consider, it's not necessary true). This project is a train wreck from the start.

I agreed with what they were doing up until the death threats. No need for that!

Bring in wolves plus bears and big cats if possible.

Introduce wolves there!

huge problem here 😐

You need natural predators. Introduce wolves to maintain population.

I know it takes time but what about introducing a natural predator. I know that there is culling in Balmoral of the deer as they over populate as well and It just seems a waste of life. Especially since this park shown was started to conserve these species in the first place. It obviously worked better than they thought. This isn't an open and shut case, culling is the worse case Scenario but is letting animals starve any better? It's torture. Plus feeding the animals is only going to let the situation get worse and inevitably harder to rectify.

There are several species of wolves that are near extinction. Why not try to introduce some that need it most? https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/extinction-countdown/ost-endangered-canine-species/

Oh now do people understand why hunting is necessary

No damn wolves....guessing people haven't seen what happened out west

Where are the natural predator? Did they not study how predator encourage plant growth by moving the prey around? There's a documentary on it of wolves being introduce to Yellowstone Park. The balance is beautiful.

Introduce wolves to balance the numbers

why they are locked in ?

Just add some predators
