But pro hunting groups would say wolves are "threatening their way of life."

Bitch we threatened wolves' way of life when we exterminated them from habitats. Dear are not meant to populate where they have in numbers they have. The ecosystem didn't evolve that way.

Inside you are two deer populations

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 12 points 11 hours ago

Two wolves inside you? Add more wolves.

Well, I mean... I don't wanna lose ALL the weight

Also, Congress IS wolves, so that ain't gonna work

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

They're hyaenas, not wolves.

[–] forestbeasts@pawb.social 1 points 8 hours ago

I wish Congress were wolves. They'd be a lot cuter, more fluffy and less evil.

There are two wolves in me, and I'm glad I came to this furry convention.

Can someone please x-ray draw these did legs in for me? The right side of the photo in particular. It's confusing the fuck out of me.

First alleged Kirk-killer's tiny face and now this

I'm not sure for all the legs. Hope it helps.

I have a lot of outdoorsy hobbies, most people who are serious about camping and hiking and such are also pretty good about leaving no trace.

But there's also a lot of people out there who aren't serious about it, they just think it would be fun to go out in the woods and have a party or whatever and they leave a lot of litter, start fires in inappropriate places, etc.

And at least around me, that's generally a pretty safe thing for them to do. Theres no really no large predators left for them to be concerned about.

And I sometimes think "maybe if we just reintroduced wolves, that might be enough to dissuade some of these assholes from making a mess in the great outdoors"

Those of us who spend a lot of time outside know there's usually not too much to worry about as long as you're taking some basic precautions, but almost every time I talk to a non-outdoorsy person, it seems like they're always afraid of getting attacked by wolves or bears.

A friends husband refused to go on a trip to Canada because he was convinced they would be attacked by bears. They were going to Toronto

[–] youcantreadthis@quokk.au 6 points 15 hours ago

I had a froend who was attacked by bears in toronto. Had a great time.

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 4 points 15 hours ago

but almost every time I talk to a non-outdoorsy person, it seems like they're always afraid of getting attacked by wolves or bears.

it's like talking to a US tourist as to why they never visit Australia; spiders, snakes, drop bears Crocs...

Smithers, release the hounds.

This is a much more interesting take on Wolf of Wall Street

Fuck that movie. Waited 2 hours or something and it was like fucking and drugs. Not a single wolf was released on walstreet.

These have to be the most adorable killer wolves. One is even winking at us! Idk if that is a good thing.

[–] bampop@lemmy.world 14 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

It's so embarrassing when you think a wolf is winking at you but it's really winking at the wolf behind you

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

It's winking at the two wolves inside me. And one is winking back and the other one isn't

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 7 points 18 hours ago (4 children)

Recently, I seem to have a problem that there are too many wolves around. I've lost three children this month alone.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

How many children do you have?

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Oh they're not my children. The neighbors keep dropping them off. They said somebody has to look after them while everybody else is out fighting wolves. Fortunately, when the parents came to pick up their children, nobody asked about those three, so I guess it all worked out in the end.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 25 minutes ago

Sounds like you're just feeding neighbouring kids to wolves.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

[–] Malgas@beehaw.org 9 points 18 hours ago

Believe it or not, release more wolves.

This was written by a wolf

[–] Arkthos@pawb.social 8 points 19 hours ago

This entire thread is just Werewolf the Apocalypse in a nutshell lmao.

The concept of the game boils down to eco-terrorist werewolves getting mad and tearing the billionaires, factories, and the elementary school class that had a kid accidentally litter to shreds.
