Of Wolves and Men

You don’t have to be so cantankerous all the time. It’s no wonder I’m your only friend - I imagine all the others couldn’t stand your sunny disposition. And I know, I know, you’re not my friend , but you are , or at least I’m yours, and friends should be able to speak frankly with each other.”

Jaskier doesn’t say anything else, just watches the witcher in the light of the fire. They’re close now, close enough to share breath, and Geralt’s amber eyes seem to glitter in the dimness. Taking a breath, Jaskier leans in. Eloquent....His own patient effort to understand a despised, feared and heavily mythologized beast induces a shiver, of strangeness, the sign of fresh, original work.” —Walter Clemons, NewsweekWill you write a song about this?” There’s uncharacteristic mirth in Geralt’s tone.

When studying the wolf, Western people only look at what interests them; selected fragments fail to give a good enough understanding of the complete creature. As Mr Lopez wisely points out, “ We cannot understand [wolves] except in terms of our own needs and experiences… to approach them solely in terms of the Western imagination is, really, to deny the animal.” He suggests spending time with people who “ come from a different time-space and, who, so far as we know, are very much closer to the wolf than we will ever be.” Barry Lopez – News". www.barrylopez.com.

I think that the answer is A is this correct?

It is a violent expression of a terrible assumption: that men have the right to kill other creatures not for what they do but for what we fear they may do…Killing wolves has to do with fear based on superstitions. It has to do with “duty”. It has to do with proving manhood. PG 140 But of course!” Jaskier sounds indignant at the suggestion that he might not. “But where to start?” Well, the answer can be found right in the cover of the book, which shows a wolf looking straight at the camera that took the photograph! Looking at that picture, you cannot help but realize that you are not looking at just another "dumb animal" like a cow or a sheep; you are looking at a "BEING"-- an intelligent, aware BEING, a creature not all "that" much different from yourself. Those eyes "grab" you, the same way a pair of human eyes would "grab" you.

Animal Kingdom Of Wolves and Men is not only the best popular account of an animal I have read in a long time, but also something new — a bridge between books of the past and those of the future, which, it is hoped, will incorporate and expand the perceptions so eloquently treated here.” —George Schaller Over the past hundred to two hundred years wolves have been shot for sport or for their pelts. They've been poisoned with strychnine. And hunted with eagles. Teddy Roosevelt was a hunting fanatic. He had a huge entourage, of men, dogs, equipment, when he went on one of his hunting massacres.

April and May are the most common months. Mating and whelping take place later in the spring the farther north one moves. The pups are usually born in a den excavated for the purpose -- in a sandy esker in northern Canada, under massive tree trunks, in cut banks, or in natural cavities around boulders or in caves in other locales. In northern Alaska, females may give birth in the open in a hastily prepared depression or "pit den," as though labor had been sudden and unexpected.urn:lcp:ofwolvesmen00lope_0:epub:0f4f3bc2-7cd9-4bfe-95bc-79631811a662 Extramarc MIT Libraries Foldoutcount 0 Identifier ofwolvesmen00lope_0 Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t9p29fw6h Invoice 11 Isbn 9780684163222

Consider the language, tone, and context of the detail to help determine whose perspective it represents. During hot spells wolves travel much less and restrict their hunting to the coolest hours of the night. The strychnine hunters went crazy. Cowboys never passed a carcass on the range without poisoning it. They shot birds and painted them with poison. Farm dogs died. Children died. Anything that ate meat died. Prior to white settlement, the Great Plains was home to an incredible abundance of wildlife. Lopez estimated that between 1850 and 1900, 500 million wild animals died. Such insanity staggers the imagination.

Today, the killing continues. Problem humans are using dynamite to blow up predator dens, and shooting them from planes and helicopters. They stake out dogs in heat, and then beat to death the wolves that mount them. Why? Why? Why? Barry Lopez". Encyclopædia Britannica. Archived from the original on December 27, 2020 .
