The nature of wolves. (Letters to the Editor).Regarding "Thrown to the Wolves" (THE NEW AMERICAN, January 27th issue), it saddens me to see the wolf used to enact the "new world order" agenda. There are misunderstandings and fears among people dealing with wolves. Wolves in the wild generally tend to stay away and out of sight from people. Wolf attacks on people are extremely rare, and are usually caused by infection with the rabies virus rabies virus n. A rather large, bullet-shaped virus of the genus Lyssavirus that causes rabies. or the wolf acting in self-defense (Law) in protection of self, - it being permitted in law to a party on whom a grave wrong is attempted to resist the wrong, even at the peril of the life of the assailiant. - Wharton. See also: Self-defense upon being cornered. I do not know of any cases of wolf attacks on humans for food. Situations of wolf attacks on farm animals are usually the result of the wolf being unable to find food within its natural habitat. These wolves mentioned in the article could have been introduced improperly into an area with insufficient wildlife to support their needs. Wolves generally kill only for food. Coyotes, on the other hand, attack and kill indiscriminately and "for fun" so to speak. Some species, such as red wolves, are easily mistaken for coyotes and vice versa VICE VERSA. On the contrary; on opposite sides. . It is possible that some of the attacks by wolves could be the work of the coyote coyote (kī`ōt, kīō`tē) or prairie wolf, small, swift wolf, Canis latrans, native to W North America. It is found in deserts, prairies, open woodlands, and brush country; it is also called brush wolf. . Throughout my life, I have known of individuals raising wolves from puppies and keeping them as pets. I have also come across wolf/dog combinations called wolf hybrids. Common hybrid mixes include wolf/German shepherd, wolf/malamute, and wolf/husky. There are an estimated 500,000 hybrids scattered Scattered Used for listed equity securities. Unconcentrated buy or sell interest. over the U.S. and an undetermined number of full-blooded pet wolves. My personal experience and the experiences shared by others are that wolves and wolf hybrids raised by humans tend to be affectionate animals. Of course, there are exceptions. Although I am pleased to hear of some cases of wolf-recovery in places like Yellowstone National Park Yellowstone National Park, 2,219,791 acres (899,015 hectares), the world's first national park (est. 1872), NW Wyo., extending into Montana and Idaho. It lies mainly on a broad plateau in the Rocky Mts., on the Continental Divide, c. , I am not happy with the U.S. government's role in this undertaking. Like most "Birchers," I seriously question the constitutionality of U.S. government involvement. It is obvious to me from reading this article that the wolf-recovery effort is being seriously mishandled. It is horrendous to see wolves used as a tool by environmental radicals and other "new world order" type organizations to advance their agenda and destroy private property rights. If wolf-recovery efforts were managed in a logical, sane, and intelligent manner, it could be designed to benefit both the wolf and the private property owner.
