This comment is the relevant one. We put them in areas that aren't fully rehabbed and expect them to not go after farm animals? Laughable. They are doing what comes naturally.

It's what we as humans did with mountain lions after stepping foot in this continent. Those in power continue to make stupid uninformed decisions

You're right, I should clarify, dumbass white colonizers (I'm white, it's embarrassing) and not the indigenous peoples that had full on civilizations happening here. They lived in harmony with nature

They're not uninformed, they're greedy.

Greedy, yes. But if they're not getting all the information (which in the case of people this greedy) then they are also highly uninformed as they only want info that suits their needs.

There has been significant due diligence. It's not like they sent a barefoot hippie into Montana to lead a couple wolves back on a leash they bought 50% off from Chewy.com. Scientists have studied this for decades.

Native Americans actually haven’t lived here very long, according to the current understanding of anthropology.

Yeah 15,000 years is a blink of an eye from a broader evolutionary perspective. Humans have lived in much of the rest of the world for much, much longer. Even seemingly remote places like Australia have been occupied by humans for many times longer.
