Nothing is as simple as it looks when it comes to the ecosystem. It is very complex. Time is a very large factor. What did it look like 400 years ago? Were wildlife populations controlled by hunting?
Thats not allways true, sometimes people cause the animals to thrive,,, here in PA we have more whitetail deer than any state except TX and that state is many times larger than PA.
400 years ago there were no farm lands with corn and soybeans, no golf courses or lawns with lush grass, mainly only old growth forset browse.
When there is plenty of easy food animals come, people are that food supply, lawns, gardens, farms, pets, trash...
We attract and feed just about every part of the food chain with the way we live.
