Nice retort. Care to explain where I’m wrong?

Fear and caution are evolutionary advantages, as stated by Darwinism, animals that fear and choose to hide from obviously superior organisms, live long enough to reproduce, and pass their genes along to the next gen. If the fox/gazelle goes against that instinct, it dies. Its that simple. How is that any different from going out to kill a wolf that’s attacked one of your own? The only difference we choose to artifically select because we know what we gotta do, while in the wild its all about natural selection that wipes out the inferior genes.[/quote]

OK…

Considering gazelles are herbivores why would they attack a lion?

For the banter?

It’s kinda hard to have a decent conversation while you’re running for your life…

Does anyone remember the cartoon “George of the Jungle”?

herbivores can be fighters too. Gazelles wouldn’t fight the lion though cuz they’re not equipped to fight the lion, since they don’t got the strength, teeth, size to take it. Which is my point. Wolves are probably the most smartest animals in the world, if they mess with a human being, then they should know that we’re going to come back with guns to kill them because what we lack in strength, we make up for in brainpower.

Exactly!

The Tiger apparently missed the memo about human superiority.

Damn this thread has turned hilarious quickly.

No they don’t really know that. Wolves can’t really conceive complexity like that and don’t actually know what guns are.

You can scare a dog by pointing a pencil at it. It doesn’t differentiate between pencil or gun or anything else. It just knows that an archetypal human form is pointing something at it.

They don’t know about our brain power either.

And if that dog is bigger than the human or outnumber it, they don’t care about anything except their advantage.

Omg I had a dream about wolves last night because of this thread…

Thinking…

I think he was lurking around my community.

The details are foggy.

That is funny. To me it looks like he was fishing off of an elephant and caught a tiger.

The only reason animals fear humans is because humans have put that fear into them at some point in their lives with guns or whatever. However, if they go a generation or two without having ever been taught the lesson of “man have stick go boom, pack member dead” then they lose that fear.

And in remote areas where they never learned it, unless you are armed, your are as much a source of food as anything else. The only thing you really have going for you is man is semi-tall and if standing and facing a wolf provide a somewhat imposing figure that might give them a little pause to ponder the risk-reward of an attack.

Don’t worry America, I have a ridiculously good K/D ratio on spiders.

If you taser or spray a wolf with bear spray; would that wolf ever approach a human again?

No, that only works on bears.

You’d need wolf spray.[/quote]

you need to be more clever

Death by Centipede…

Probably not, but that would involve getting close enough to do either which is extremely impractical. If you shoot a handful, the ones with them quickly learn that people are trouble and you get the same result. At least that’s how its supposed to work but I understand that urban crawl and expanding ranch land as well as displaced wolves sometimes result in conflicts that the wolves and people cant seem to get away from.
