After all of these "jokes," I'm going to have a Bass - or two - or three - or more.
And in the morning, perhaps another (you know - hair of the dog...).
If you want to pelt me, I will paws in this tail so you won't have to look fur to muzzle me...

well, that picture was so bad I did not even recognize it as me! Com'on, you would not want to malign the reputation of wolf-dog hybrids by comparing them to me would you? I am seldom openly aggressive, but have my ways...
Starbug, you are incorrect about wild wolves. they do kill for sport. Since their numbers have come back many ranchers and hunters are complaining that they will often kill their pray even when well fed and not hungry, and leave it to rot. It has almost wiped out sport hunting in the norther states. This is why all the old folk tales about them always portray them as evil, inflicting pain and hardship on every living thing they encounter, way beyond merely finding food. It is only modern ignorant animal rights activists that have been spreading propaganda trying to rehabilitate the wolves' reputation. And it worked until the wolves started acting like wolves again.
Why the government biologists thought it was a good idea to introduce them to areas where they have been absent for well over a century, at taxpayer expense, I will never know. Accomplishes nothing good for the taxpayers, land owners, nor the wolves. I guess the power of the propaganda was compelling.
I do agree the hybrids are dangerous, no reason to have them at all.

I stand corrected, then. None of the information I found at the time I was researching them years ago said anything about sport killing, so I was unaware. I like new information, it expands and changes one's knowledge as new facts are learned.

these dogs are from the sahara desert - this is near el alamein -the dogs at first were really quite wild but after a week of leaving scraps out of a night they became quite tame and would enter our camp in an order ever evening -mom first -then dad then uncle -then kids then auntie and uncle and so on-they keep guard around the camp of night time and repelled any intruders- they hated arabs- one night they came to shoot the dogs, they attacked with guns we attacked with steel bars and sledge hammers - after a few guns were smashed a few butts kicked they beat a retreat and never returned -lost one dog-but it was worth it the dogs stayed with us for six weeks-very sad to leave them-del boy ps the barbed wire was from ww2
