8-Bit 48 February 23, 2015 Share February 23, 2015 Hai :3 I wasn't sure where else to post! Any wolf lovers out there that need a smile? I work(ed) with wolves at the UK Wolf Conservation Trust for a fair few years, and thought I'd share some photos with you all <3 I'm really struggling to share images (if anyone could shed some light on the best way to do that I'd be forever grateful!) so I've just got a link for you instead; https://www.dropbox.com/sh/e3xn4n2ys6g7j8o/AADhE8SFDtv5EvsgiarWnZSaa?dl=0 only a small number of photos from the hundreds I have, but if they make even one person smile I'll be so happy! If anyone would like to talk about wolves with me I'd love that I have a degree in animal welfare and behaviour and I've worked with wolves for around 4-5 years as a volunteer <3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argumedies 1,748 February 24, 2015 Share February 24, 2015 (edited) Ya I'm very much a wolfie kinda person Wolves imho are one of thee most misunderstood animals out there. I love anything wolf related but I've never been up close to one, closest was at a wolf habitat area and got to watch a pack from about a quarter mile away Edited February 24, 2015 by Argumedies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC_Maud_Pie 6,431 February 24, 2015 Share February 24, 2015 I wouldn't call myself a huge fan. But I think they're cool and I like them better than dogs. Not only wolves, but forest animals are cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrala 269 February 24, 2015 Share February 24, 2015 I think wolves are very pretty animals. Wouldn't ever want to be face-to-face with one though. Wolves don't have a very good reputation where i live, people absolutely hate them and hunters pretty much want to personally erase the entire species from existance. If you like wolves, don't ever bring them up in any sort of positive light when you're talking with the average Finnish hunter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like wolves, don't ever bring them up in any sort of positive light when you're talking with the average Finnish hunter. I had no idea that the Finns hated wolves so much it's clear in many of the states but I didn't realise they were a problem in Finland I'm not sure how I'd deal with a wild one face to face. It would be rare indeed but I guess our captive ones are actually more dangerous given they haven't got the fear of man wild ones have. Not that they've ever hurt me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that they've ever hurt me The hate is mostly in rural areas, city folk tend to either not care about/somewhat like wolves, much to the disdain of rural folks. Personally i think some of the hate goes a bit overboard, but there is a reason people are a bit wary of wolves being near their homes, families, pets, livestock etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Sassy Dashie~ 712 February 24, 2015 Share February 24, 2015 OH YES! I'm in love with wolves! (And animals in general, though wolves are my favorite animal) And I believe that if I had a spirit animal that it would be a wolf. I think they are beautiful creatures, and would love to get to meet/interact with them like you have. (The photos made me smile, btw ) I also am an artist, so of course, I draw wolves A LOT.

SparklingSwirls 21,261 February 24, 2015 Share February 24, 2015 Yeah I like wolves . They're really pretty animals, but I don't know very much about them. I like Wolfies more though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonasDarkmane 19,776 February 24, 2015 Share February 24, 2015 I love wolves, although I do love foxes more. I find them to be rather interesting (both). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invincible 2,090 February 24, 2015 Share February 24, 2015 I absolutely love them! They definitely are some of the nature's finest creatures. Anything from their pack structures, to their hunting tactics, to their amazingly cute fuzzy faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastel 7,626 February 24, 2015 Share February 24, 2015 (edited) I like wolves I read/heard somewhere that, actually, they never attack men. Edited February 24, 2015 by Blobulle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFlyer 328 February 24, 2015 Share February 24, 2015 I love wolves! They've been my favorite animal since I was a kid. The closest I've even been to them is at our local nature park but I've never been up close and personal with one the way you have. I'm insanely jealous; those pictures are amazing! Someday I would love to visit Wolf Park (http://wolfpark.org/) it's only a state away so the trip wouldn't be impossible. I'm sure it would be the experience of a lifetime for any wolf lover.

Event Coordinator SCS 7,416 March 21, 2015 Event Coordinator Share March 21, 2015 I love wolves. I think they're beautiful, adorable animals and I have a lot of respect for them. That being said, I'd never even go near one in real life if I could help it. That's just asking to get your ass ripped off because these are very dangerous animals. That's the thing about nature, nature can be beautiful but that doesn't mean it's even remotely safe. I'd much rather look at a wolf from a tremendous distance or just look at pictures online. It's not that I care about danger, I give zero shits about danger. I just don't want to put myself in danger when it's pointless. If I saw a severely injured wolf laying by the side of the road or something I'd gladly try to help it because that'd be worthwhile, but I would never put myself within close proximity of a wolf just for the sake of doing so. 8-Bit, please note that I'm not at all saying the work you do is pointless. Quite the opposite, actually. What you do is an example of when I think it's worthwhile to put yourself in danger. I'm just referring to people who get wild animals as pets and shit because they think they're cute to the point where they forget how dangerous and vicious they really are.

Espurr 449 March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 Who doesn't like wolves? They're all buddies and they get along and help each other out. I mean, I like wolves too. They work in packs. It's like Friend City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinyl Scratch (Filly)™ 936 March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 (edited) They're really nice animals! I remember meeting someone who had a domesticated wolf, it was missing one leg and was nearly blind, so they didn't want to let him out in the wild. He was a sweet old guy, a big softy compared to wild wolves. Edited March 21, 2015 by Vinyl Scratch (Filly)™ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
