Wolfcatcher Royal

A tag has been placed on Wolfcatcher Royal, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Question

What does your book say about the Gevaudan beast exactly (species, description etc.)? I'm very interested in the subject and have been looking for an affordable copy of "Wolf Hunting in France" for a while now.

By the way, just out of curiosity, do you speak any French?Dark hyena (talk) 14:13, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Justification

Simple human error. I missed the part on wolf attacks in the US. Personally, I would remove both. Before we came along, the article was nothing but a childish rant on how wolves are harmless puppies. There was barely any significant mention on the global history and methods behind wolf hunting, just brief, uninteresting summaries.

I think the whole wolf attack debate should be limited to the "Fatal wolf attacks" and "attitudes" articles. The hunting article has such potential in a neutral frame of mind. I would hate to see it turn into yet another "wolf apologist historical revision".

On a different note, does "Wolf hunting in France" mention what dog breeds were used in France to hunt wolves?Dark hyena (talk) 14:48, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Hare coursing

Sorry to be a pain, but I'm still not sure why the image Image:Desportes_hare.jpg relates to hare coursing. Both the type of gun and the type of dog suggest that shooting rather than coursing had taken place. MikeHobday (talk) 22:47, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Interesting book

Hey Bearer, I thought you'd find this interesting.

Kenton Carnegie

Hey man

This looks right up your street!; Kenton Joel Carnegie wolf attack. Check out the external links entitled "Statement by Valerius Geist.." Enjoyable reads.Dark hyena (talk) 17:44, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Eep

Yikes. A small part of me envies you though. We ate all our bears in the year 500.

If you're worried about being attacked by a wolf, keep out of places where they are protected as "endangered species". http://westinstenv.org/wp-content/Geist_when-do-wolves-become-dangerous-to-humans.pdf This study shows that protected wolves are more likely to stalk people than those living in areas where they are hunted.
