The Perfect Wolves
This is so naive & silly:
The Wolf is truly one of the most perfect creatures. If only we humans could live as they do then there would be no suffering, pain, murder, crime, etc. They live within a perfect society where social order is established early and unless the alpha male or female dies, this social order remains stable. Even the “low man on the totem pole,” the omega wolf, has a place and is important is sustaining the perfect social order.
Mainly because, well, humans DO live that way! It’s called the caste system, social classes, or in more modern terms “economics”.

Totally agree with you. Here is what I think leads to this niavety-People grow up in sub-urbs, cut off from farm life and the fact that people must kill to live. Which I mean farm life is tame compared to the wild but the sub-urbs are completely sterile.
The only animals in the sub-urbs and cities are pets. So certian romantic types yearn to be re-connected with nature, but the only relation they have to nature is that of relations to pets, which is a derivative of the maternal instinct.
So then these people relate to nature only through the maternal instinct and think of all animals as little innocent babies that need protection from big bad hunters etc. You get organizations like PETA and so forth.
Hunters and trappers know more about what wolves are all about, even more than many nature writers and film makers that grew up in the sub-urbs.

I know a trapper that traps wolves and every so often, a wolf will get trapped and another wolf will eat it. Some Trappers get up in arms about PETA though and kind of use rhetoric that goes to the opposite extreme.
But there are trappers that really admire wolves too even as they trap them.
