oh, i do hope people in your paradise know how to do it - while keeping the balance!

Example: some decades ago bears here in the Pyrenneys - the eternal nightmare of sheep & shepherds - were considered extinct . A couple of years ago some green-minded people brought several dozens from Rumania (or smth) to restore the specie. Bears, being bears, started attacking sheep, cows, shepherds & backpackers. (I can't help thinking about the recent "bear talk" on the 2012 Meetup Camping thread). And here is the twist: one cannot kill a bear, it's jail - try to convince the judge "I shot the bear - but I say it was a self-defence!". The bear won't go to jail tho for ripping your heart out. The shepherds are complaining that now they are becoming an endangered specie. Where's the balance now?

What would have the right solution been? IDK; maybe to release the bears in some wild life reserve? What if there's none - then, first, create one and only then bring the bears? I say, I don't really know. I just hope people in your paradise keep all the possible implications in mind when they bring things back from extinction (I am not sarcastic or anything, I am just thinking that there are soooooo many factors involved, it's difficult to keep Everything in mind... We'll see in 500 years )
