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.

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. Totally agree with you.
