Oh, and since we are apparently of the opinion that wolves should stay away from us lest we kill them, could we really complain if they ate those of us that ventured into their territory? It's pretty much the same idea.

Names and addresses please Neb [img]smile.gif[/img] There have been some people who have lived in the woods and studied the wolves but not lived WITH the wolves. When I lived in Minnessotta I had the chance to talk to a guy who raises Hybrid puppies that are part wolf. He had to quit raising wolves due to his inability to breed the vicious streak out of them. He loved them dearly, and still does but he said he would never trust his daughter around them. I also know of some scientists who swim with great whites too..doesnt mean they are pussycats.
As for them killing us, well they are welcome to try but if they follow their best bet they will stick with hunting in packs and taking the weakest and sickest. It owuldnt pay for them to hunt humans unless they were unarmed. I don't think they should be eliminated, I actually like them. I just think we should not encourage their reintroduction into populated areas. Just becuase no one remembers that they used to deadly enough to cause us to hunt them to near extinction doesnt mena that they have changed.
Im also a bit irked at the doofuses who write current fiction and have a seriously bad habbit of anthropamorphizing animals, making them to appear more, intelligent, benign, peacful and lovable than they really are.
