@MelGibsonafter4Beers@kaia@grillchen I really want to pet a wolf and hang out with one for a bit. Maybe I should take the family to one of those wolf rescues.
@FourOh-LLC@grillchen@kaia@MelGibsonafter4Beers Yeah that's what I want to see, thanks! I don't make it to that part of the country too often lately, but I'll look into what next summer looks like for travel or another local option.

I have a friend who drags me around for all sorts of these things, and she paid money to sit with the pack. Again, the pack had a handler, and told her to behave or the pack gets exited and becomes unpredictable.
Wolfs are highly social and hierarchical creatures, so they actually crave interaction. But they are not domesticated, which means they are not going to accept humans as part of their pack.
The wild wolfs are loaded with all sorts of bugs and disease-carry creatures, its "mother nature", in all her fucking genocidal glory.
@FourOh-LLC@BowsacNoodle@grillchen@kaia The beast only bares it's fangs at enemies, and Afrikaners are probably the toughest strain of White people on the planet.
@FourOh-LLC@BowsacNoodle@grillchen@kaia The domestication of dangerous wild animals by white people has roots that can be linked to the biblical descendant of the Leviathan (Tarrasque), the mythical dragon that Saint Martha Lazarus of Bethany brought to heel in the midst of its murderous rampage through what is now known as Tarascon.
Get domesticated, you gigantic fucking reptilian retard.
Imagine if a tiny glowing fairy wanted to "domesticate you" by 1. being really cute around you 2. offering you delicious food 3. inviting you to fuck up a bunch of her fairy enemies in glorious but unfair combat would you care that your voluntary cooperation was interpreted by the fairy herself as successful domestication of a giant beast?
This is a natural behavior, these creatures are vulnerable on land. They are an ambush predator.
Approach a number of Komodo dragons with nothing but a shovel and live to tell the tale. Those are land predators and don't mind biting rusting steel. They will also give you a race you cannot win.
@apropos@grillchen@kaia Racial ecology was unironically the bedrock upon which the conservationalist movement was built. Madison Grant is still considered by many to be the godfather of environmentalism and white nationalism.
Grant saved several species of Bison, wolves and Caribou from extinction.
@MelGibsonafter4Beers@kaia@grillchen Q: can we have more immigration? It won't raise house prices if we open up some of these federal lands. A: sorry, got mammoths all over those lands. And sabre-toothed tigers. And dinosaurs.
@kaia@grillchen > Absolute Unit of a dog and darling of game thrones Yuki is essentially a prehistoric direwolf, or at the very least a facsimile of one.
@kaia@grillchen I'm all for reviving extinct species of megafauna. Before the industrial revolution, North America had more indigenous species of fauna than the entirety of Africa.
