I appreciate the elegance of your language and the clarity of your analysis. Permit me one semantic comment. The term "lone wolf" is often used to indicate individuals acting on their own, but this is a mischaracterization of real wolf behavior. In the real world, wolves--as intelligent as our pets if not more--are viciously hunted via planes and traps. Secretary Deb Haaland has been indifferent to the pleas of conservationists and animal lovers to "relist wolves" as endangered. There's been a years-long campaign that she continues to ignore. Part of what allows them to be demonized is our own language, and that's why I'm using this one comment to point that out. Thanks for listening.
Thank you, Lauren, for pointing out the status of wolves on an endangered list. Nothing is simple, it seems. Some wolves are on the list while others are not. This article - written back in February 2022 - explains how those in a few states are protected but in a majority of the states they are not.
"White’s ruling restores federal protections to all wolves in Western and Central Oregon and Washington, as well as California. However, wolves located in Eastern Washington and Oregon, Idaho and Montana remain off the endangered list under the 2020 US Fish and Wildlife Service rule removing wolves from the list in 45 states."
'On est toujours seule, quoi qu'il arrive' but that is also not true when you think about it. This group shows remarkable strength in the most jarring news. Cruelty wow it's everywhere but it is possible to change that too.
