Precisely my point, Grainne. Nobody asked the wolves if they wanted to move out when the city was built. Your predecessors simply moved in, shot the wolves, built the streets and houses. There is no chance for interaction with them, because they are for practical purposes extinct so your neighbors can control whether or not your tree stands or falls.

Your place is not ecologically sensitive; it's ecologically depauperate. I guarantee you that if humans suddenly disappeared from it, rats and roaches would be supreme for a while. Your neighbors are sensitive, but not the ecological balance. It is completely out of balance.

Where wolves and moose and trappers coexist together, they each depend on the other. They interact and thrive, in balance, according to the natural rules of competition.

In your city, the natural rules of competition do not operate except that winner takes all.

For the moment, that is you.
