Humane Hancock | The Truth About Yellowstone @HumaneHancock | Uploaded November 2020 | Updated October 2024, 9 minutes ago.
One of the biggest lies in conservation history: This is a video-response to the viral video “How Wolves Change Rivers”: youtube.com/watch?v=ysa5OBhXz-Q. I discuss whether reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone has made the world a better place, and whether rewilding is something vegans and animal rights activists should promote or oppose.
