Now lets try keep this one on topic:
Z3120C00L original post;
[spoil]There have many stories and fables written about wolves, some like "Little Red Riding Hood",and stories about Werewolves have made the wolf a symbol of evil, a monster to some. The wolf was often portrayed as the Anti-Christ, epitome of evil.
The Ancient Athenians had great respect for the wolf and decreed that any man who killed one had to pay for the funeral for the animal. In the Middle Ages dead wolves were buried at a village entrance to keep out other wolves (a bizarre belief echoed today by farmers who continue to shoot predators and hang them on fence posts to repel other predators.) Just like we are going to hang the hides off our walls.

The Wolf and The Lion
A WOLF, having stolen a lamb from a fold, was carrying him off to his lair. A Lion met him in the path, and seizing the lamb, took it from him. Standing at a safe distance, the Wolf exclaimed, "You have unrighteously taken that which was mine from me!" To which the Lion jeeringly replied, "It was righteously yours, eh? The gift of a friend?'

First came the threats:

A Lesson need learning?... I think So
Roaming by the mountainside at sundown, a wolf saw his own shadow become greatly extended and magnified, and he said to himself,
-"Why should I, being of such an immense size and extending nearly an acre in length, be afraid of the lion? Ought I not to be acknowledged as King of all the collected beasts?"
While he was indulging in these proud thoughts, a lion fell upon him and killed him. He exclaimed with a too late repentance,
-"Wretched me! this overestimation of myself is the cause of my destruction."

Wolf Hunting has been a hobby for some many generations, and will be for generations to come.
Remember the good ole days when The State law authorized the County Clerk to pay $3 from the county fund for each coyote or wolf scalp presented, and he certifies the fact of payment to the Auditor, who pays $1 additional, making $4 for each wolf or coyote. The State Auditor declares that this pays better than hog raising, and naturally the farmers have turned their attention to this industry. Four bucks in 1902 is equivalent to roughly $95 in today’s dollars.
The Book of Genesis was interpreted in Medieval Europe as stating that nature exists solely to support man (Genesis 1:29), who must cultivate it (Genesis 2:15), and that animals are made for his own purposes (Genesis 2:18-20). By this perspective, nature was only acceptable if controlled by man. The wolf is repeatedly mentioned in the scriptures as an enemy of flocks: a metaphor for evil men with a lust for power and dishonest gain, as well as a metaphor for Satan preying on innocent God-fearing Christians, contrasted with the shepherd Jesus who keeps his flock safe.
You have bashed us in the externals, threatened us and attacked us. This is act of an enemy. You have spent so long infesting this land with your presence and it will be an honor to take from you all you have worked so hard to gain. We, the Empire of ~ONE~ declare open season on GRRR!
