No flaming, trolling, name-calling, baiting, or harassment. No bigoted remarks will be tolerated, be they racial, religious, or otherwise. No spamming. Anti-Wolf is not responsible for the actions of its individual members within or outside of this group page.

Due to the unwritten rules of deviantART, we are now required to tell you some shit. If we've rightfully pissed on your sensibilities offended you, we apologize for our terrible, horrible, unacceptable bullying. We're all a bunch of spiteful jerks here. If you don't like jerks, you're probably better off staying away from us.


Guidelines and Submissions


:bulletgreen: Love your fellow Anti-Wolfers.
:bulletblack: Give us a reason why you want to join. Don't expect us to explain why we denied your membership request when your candy ass couldn't be bothered to read the rules in the first place.
:bulletgreen: Have a problem with the group or how a member acts toward others? Don't throw a fit, just note us.
:bulletblack: We're not your personal army. If you piss off a hoard of wolfaboos, don't expect us to chase them off.
:bulletgreen: We do not encourage/allow trolling here, nor will we participate in it. We do, however, reserve the right to be condescending assholes, and will gleefully exercise this right when provoked. You've been warned.
:bulletblack: Submit your shit to the right folder. It's not that hard.
:bulletgreen: We won't approve your screencap if it isn't hilarious, takes more than two minutes to read, usernames and icons aren't blacked/blurred out, or if something similar has already been submitted to the gallery.
:bulletblack: Don't submit a stamp to the gallery if a similar stamp has already been submitted, unless yours is of better quality.
:bulletgreen: Don't submit snark art here. There are plenty of other groups just for that.


:pointr::pointr::pointr::pointr: READ OUR FAQ BEFORE COMMENTING :pointl::pointl::pointl::pointl:


Q: Why was my join request denied?
A: Because your dumb ass didn't read the rules.

Q: Why do you hate wolves?
A: We don't. We hate their rabid fanbase.

Q: Then why do you have a kill counter showing the deaths of wolves?
A: Showing how many wolves were killed during the hunting season doesn't automatically mean we hate wolves. It is a very informative tracker, and in fact many pro-wolf websites keep the same thing on their pages because they like to know how many wolves have been hunted. Our information comes from the Department of Fish and Game (for each state, respectively).

Q: Then why are you called "Anti-Wolf?"
A: This name was chosen because it is provocative, and because we are against the deluded wolf fanbase.

Q: What exactly is the point of this group?
A: This is a group dedicated to providing the facts about wolves during an era in which blind wolf worship is the norm. This group is not about hating wolves, but rather, informing people about their true conservation status, proving the dangers of wolves to humans, debunking the lies created by radical animal rights groups, idiots on the Internet, and wolf advocacy organizations, and promoting the welfare of lesser-known species that truly need our help and attention.

Q: Can I join your group?
A: Absolutely. As long as you're not a wolfaboo and provide REASON for wanting to join.

Q: What is a wolfaboo?
A: A person who is unnaturally obsessed with wolves to the point where the lives of wolves are valued far more than the lives of humankind, and will not hesitate to knowingly provide false information to viciously defend them. Not to be confused with wolf fans, which when presented with a dissenting opinion or controversial facts concerning wolves, are not prone to rabid, childish behavior.

Q: Can we post links to other deviants' funny pictures or comments that people have said?
A: No. We monitor our comments very well but if a comment does go unnoticed feel free to note the group so we can hide your comment. Anti-Wolf does not promote trolling, harassment, or baiting in any way, shape or form but we will respond if provoked.

Q: Can we talk about certain people in a certain group?
A: No.
Q: But they're always talking about y--
A: NO.

Q: How can I submit art to your group without upsetting my friends and watchers?
A: Submit your work directly to the group, and your watchers will not be notified.

Q: Why are you harassing us?
More often than not, we do not begin the conflict. Would it be too hard to imagine that we'd defend ourselves against a wolfaboo who can't bother to find the truth about the wolves, and only comes here to mock us?


Read it and weep, those who defended the wolf's conduct. The full facts of the case have finally been released. Wolves were the culprits. No, they were not really hybrids, or rabid, or acting in self defence.

I've organised this entry in a way responding to all the questions which, until now, had been left unanswered. Questions are written in normal font, while the segments of the report are in italics.

1. Were wolves regularly hunted prior to the attack? (Hunting wolves is the time-proven method of keeping wolves fearful of humans)

Human use of wolves in the Chignik Lake area is low. Mandatory sealing documented the harvest of a few wolves during the last decade, but no wolves have been sealed in recent years. p.6

2. Were there any other animal tracks on the scene? (Coyote, mountain lion, bear, dog etc.)

Animal tracks along the sides of the road and in the area of the attack were identified as wolf tracks based on the size of individual tracks. Although some very large dog breeds leave tracks similar in size to wolves (Harris and Ream 1983), only small- to medium-sized dogs were observed in the community by Butler. No animal tracks were observed between the site of the attack and the community of Chignik Lake and no dog tracks were observed beyond the immediate perimeter of the Chignik Lake community. Additionally, none of the wolf tracks observed was of a size, stride length or stride pattern that could be confused with any other canid (dog-like) species in the area. p. 9

3. Could the wolves have been acting defensively?

No evidence was found that the wolves acted defensively during the attack. A reconnaissance of the area did not detect any animal kill sites that the wolves might have been defending. p. 11

4. Were the wolves habituated? (The findings here surprised me...)

No evidence was found that the wolves were habituated to people. Residents of Chignik Lake did report encounters with wolves in the weeks preceding the attack, but none of the encounters involved direct interaction with the wolves and interactions were unremarkable. The reports commonly described a group of people seeing two to four wolves at a distance. The wolves occasionally watched the people for a short time before moving away. No attempts were made to pursue or harass the wolves even though people were concerned by the sightings. Several residents stated that no one had attempted to feed or approach the wolves for any reason. Those types of encounters are typical of most human-wolf interactions in Alaska. p. 11-12

5. Could feral dogs have been culprits?

Feral dogs were not involved in the attack, based on the size of the tracks at the site of the attack. Dogs in the community of Chignik Lake were small to medium sized and appeared well-socialized to investigators. Though often left to wander the village unattended, dogs rarely left the immediate vicinity of the community... p. 12

6. Could the wolves have been sick?

All eight of the culled wolves tested negative for rabies and distemper. The histopathology reports from the Washington Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (Washington State University, Pullman, Washington) found parasites that are considered clinically insignificant. No conditions were found that would have predisposed these animals towards aggressive behavior. When viewed as a representative sample of the wolf population in the vicinity of Chignik Lake, these findings greatly reduce the possibility that the wolves involved in the attack were in an abnormal condition that would have predisposed these wolves to an attack. Six of the eight wolves culled were in good to excellent condition. p. 16

7. Was there any DNA evidence of dog or wolf-dog hybrid involvement?

Nuclear and mitochondrial DNA analyses of the 20 forensic samples that could be used for individual identification found no evidence of wolf-dog hybridization. Although domestic dog DNA was found in two hairs left on the victim’s clothing (from among the 22 low quality samples that could not be used to determine animal identity), these two hairs were found from a location on the victim’s clothing that did not imply participation in the attack. All recoverable DNA associated with samples taken from areas on the victim related to the attack were from wolves. Thus, while domestic dog DNA was recovered from hair samples taken from the victim’s clothing, dogs were not associated with the attack. DNA evidence from the bite marks on the deceased was identified as wolf DNA. p. 17

8. Could the wolves have been starving?

Based on the body condition of the wolves culled and on the number of prey species (moose and snowshoe hares) observed in the area, starvation or severe hunger were probably not factors in the attack. However, the amount of time since the wolves’ last meal is unknown. p. 18

Radical environmentalists are biting themselves in the ass with this one: [link]

I suggest EVERYONE watch the video just to see how ridiculous that law (only applies to DC - for now) is. Sad thing is, the wolfaboos won't stop their nonsense until it directly affects THEM.

A law in Idaho from 2009 (I believe it was) changed the definition of "wildlife" to include parasites. What is wrong with these people?

I stumbled upon this video earlier today. This guy apparently is making a movie with all of these video game characters. [link]

He's made a few parts to it now. The animation needs a lot of improvement and there's no dialogue. It's basically just screenshots. Still I'm watching all the parts just to see where he is going with this so I guess it has caught my interest considering how much time he's put into it.
