For size scale for the wolf: Tibetan Mastiffs are about the same weight class as a wolf, which makes sense as it’s believed that Tibetan Mastiffs were herding dogs used to defend against them. Although mastiffs in general are still somewhat smaller height and length than a wolf. It’s still fascinating. Also: clarification: dogs were used to defend against wolves but more often than not it was the bark, not the bite. Deep barks like Maremmas and Mastiffs are still used in parts of Europe, although wolves are rare, they do exist and it’s a choice between shoot or dog and I’m choosing dog every single time (I’m a hunter. I could choose shoot. But dog is a win win situation: I get a friend, I don’t have to shoot an endangered animal, and the wolf gets to live)

[@Bacteriophagebs]

I once saw something that looked exactly like the wolf in the video dead in the road. I thought it was a black bear, but the legs were clearly doglike, and it was definitely bear-sized. The problem is that this was in New Mexico, where the only wolves, the Mexican grey wolf, is the smallest species of wolf in North America. Plus it was black. I couldn't stop to examine it because it was at the entrance to a narrow bridge with no shoulder. I never did figure out what it was, but this was only a mile or so from a reservation where a coworker and I saw a _massive_ beaver, easily six feet long, that we _thought_ was dead. We got out of our cars and looked at it from just a few feet away and it never moved, but when my coworker went back with a camera to take pictures (this was before camera phones), it was gone, and there was no blood or bits of car at the site as there would have been if it had been hit as we had assumed. Maybe there's some timber wolves living on the rez, too, who knows?

Little scrawny blue and white Messenger for men who fight, Tell me of the deep, red scar, There, just where no feathers are. What about your poor left leg? Tell me, Cher Ami, I beg. All the world is at a loss, How you won that Silver Cross. "The finest fun that came to me Was when I went with Whittlesey; We marched so fast, so far ahead! 'We all are lost,' the keeper said; 'Mon Cher Ami - ­­that's my dear friend­­ You are the one we'll have to send; The whole battalion now is lost, And you must win at any cost.' So with the message tied on tight; I flew up straight with all my might, Before I got up high enough, Those watchful guns began to puff. Machine ­gun bullets came like rain, You'd think I was an aeroplane; And when I started to the rear, My! the shot was coming near! But on I flew, straight as a bee; The wind could not catch up with me, Until I dropped out of the air, Into our own men's camp, it’s fair! But, Cher Ami, upon my word, You modest, modest little bird; Now don't you know that you forgot? Tell how your breast and leg were shot. Oh yes the day we crossed the Meuse I flew to Rampont with the news; Again the bullets came like hail, I thought for sure that I should fail. The bullets buzzed by like a bee, So close, it nearly frightened me; One struck the feathers of this sail, Another went right through my tail. But when I got back to the rear, I found they’d hit me, here and here; But that is nothing, never mind; Old Poilu, there is nearly blind. I only care for what they said, For when they saw the way I bled, And found in front a swollen lump, The message hanging from my stump The French and Mine said, 'Tres bien!' Or 'Very good' -- ­­American. Mon Cher Ami, you brought good news Our Army's gone across the Meuse! You surely had a lucky call! And so I'm glad. I guess that's all. I'll sit, so pardon me, I beg; It's hard a­standing on one leg!

Dogs have an uncanny ability to be exceedingly gentle with small things, probably owing to pack instincts for caring for young. It's breathtaking sometimes.

There's even this crazy dude who spent years pretending to be a wolf and living in the litteral middle of the pack. You'd see these shots when the leader of the pack does it to the human, then when he was leader of the pack for some time, other wolves would kind of expect him to do it and be socially giddy and validated when he'd open his mouth for their heads to try and go in.

The real problem starts to emerge when you start looking at how we feed society and realize that commercial farms have to use these types of pesticides to produce enough food for current consumption rates. Now, there are proposed solutions, both as concepts and plans, but it's a huge WIP. I bring this up only to say that thinking outside of the box is important. However, it can only be done when you understand the results of thinking inside the box and the mechanisms behind those conclusions. So, use garlic in your garden, it's much better. But also recognize this isn't going to be a society wide solution. It's also very much worth mentioning that if food production drops, it isn't us in rich countries who will suffer the most. It will be those who are most vulnerable in the most vulnerable regions of the world.

Just a speculation but maybe that's why so many human species went extinct- those who couldn't defend themselves died out. And those who survived had no choice but to hunt the other animals to extinction. Maybe that's how humans even started forming communities. It was definitely much easier to be with a herd than be a lone human in the goddamn stone age when giant lizards were still around...

[@hayvenforpeace]

Early humans specifically hunted them to extinction, like they did to most of the other Pleistocene megafauna. Premodern -and especially pre-agricultural - human history is all about ecocide, wiping out prey animals and “inconvenient” species. Modernity gets so much flak for destroying the Earth, but this is actually the least environmentally destructive era since humans first appeared on this planet.
