Book Description

January 1, 2007 1550593323 978-1550593327
This book is a unique review of wolves as experienced in a culture much different than ours in North America. This book summarizes the massive research on wolves, particular those in Russia. The killing of humans by wolves is generally suppressed as reading material. This book documents the fear of Russian people because of the large number of people being killed by wolves. The diseases carried by wolves in another concern. These are explained in this book in detail. The need for control of wolves runs throughout this book. Wolves are not the positive influence in balancing nature as may be thought. Without control there is wide damage to humans, domesticated animals, and wild animals.

5.0 out of 5 stars IT'S ABOUT TIME, January 17, 2008
This review is from: Wolves in Russia: Anxiety Through the Ages (Paperback)
There isn't a more emotional or controversial issue in Western America. We were told wolves wouldn't bother livestock nor people. In fact we were told that there had never been a documented case of a wolf attack on a person. If you want to know the truth read this book and then decide for yourself. Many of the things mentioned in this book are starting to play out in Idaho,Montana and Wyoming including wolves "investigating" people. We can at least move forward with our eyes wide open. The Russian experience may become reality in America.Wolves in Russia: Anxiety Through the Ages

5.0 out of 5 stars A compelling case for Russian citizens to have arms, February 10, 2010
This review is from: Wolves in Russia: Anxiety Through the Ages (Paperback)
This is an excellent account of the damage that out of control wolf populations can inflict on a citizenry that is prohibited from their own government from having arms to defend themselves. The right to keep and bear arms in the US is normally thought of as a way to guarantee the freedoms and defense of law abiding citizens by ensuring that the government cannot become tyrannical, but arms also provides defense from the predators of nature. In this case, Russian citizens are forced to endure wolf attacks without an effective means to defend themselves, and the accounts of children being carried off by wolves is heartbreaking. The naive point of view that wolves only serve to cut sick animals from the herd is not supported by the facts, and this book shows why. I'm not an advocate of the destruction of wolf populations, but they should be controlled through proper stewardship, and the book also makes this argument as well.
