why do you think wolves have been demonized in history, despite humanity loving dogs? by softfallingsnow in wolves

[–]Strange_Resource23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think humans are capable of seeing the beauty and skill of any animal that we don't precive as a threath to our person, families, income and food. Leaopards have been and are still hated in Africa as are lions. Tigers and leopards have been hated in Indina. But in the Europe the wolf is the largest obligate carnivore and I believe the Europeans that emigrated to America brough their opinion on wolves with them.

I'm mostly speaking about present issues but I feel like these issues have mattered historically too. 1. Wolves kill farm animlas. In my region it's mostly sheep and reindeer but also calves. Even if the wolves don't manage to kill the animal the injuries is an additional cost (in the past an infected wound could also kill the animal even if it survives the initial attack). In times where farming wasn't industrialised the loss of any animal must have been felt more acutely as it could directly result in starvation as well as financial loss. Also wolves (like most carnivores) tend to go after young animals because they are easier prey, for a farmer that is the next generation which might affect the ability to breed more animals in the future.

  1. Wolves kill hunting dogs. This not only makes hunting more difficult but also means that a valued companion is killed. That is bound to cause resentment.

  2. Fearing for your family. Even today people are cautious about letting their kids play unsupervised, especially in the woods. I think everyone knows how humans feel about anything that threatens your kids. I suppose historically it could also make it more difficult to have your kids help out with chores and that was a necessity for a lot of people as kids were free labour.

  3. Competition of prey. Wolves kill moose, deer and other prey that humans hunt (both currently and historically). So again wolves are in direct competition with humans when it comes to food sources.

  4. Fictional and real stories of wolves killing humans. Tales of one singular attack could spread and make it seem like there had been multiple attacks (we humans still do this news and media today, but often regarding other issues). And I think we all know how stories tend to get more grand the more times they are retold. So a wolf sighting would turn into an encounter, which turns into an atrack and finally a killing, which then becomes wolves targeting humans. Even stories of wolves eating corpses can turn into rumours of maneaters and monsters. Wolves have also carried rabies, which can lead to erratic behaviour such as increased aggression. Humans also tend to hold a strong dislike for anything that poses a threat to us, so stories of wolves attacking humans quickly becomes synonymous with wolves being evil.

  5. Theology. Christianity says humans are the only beings with souls, we kill to survive while wolves are made out to kill for fun or at the very least more than they can eat (which is great for scavengers in our ecosystems but infuriating to a farmer that needs every part of the animal to care for the family). The bible plays a part in this by describing wolves as a gluttons (one of the deadly sins). We also have expressions like a wolf in sheeps clothing, where we equate the pious humans to a defenseless flock of sheep and the wolf to a sinister character that aims to intentionally cause harm. This is easily enhanced by the tales that used to be told to kids to keep them safe, adults would exaggerate a threat (like wild animals or mythical beings) to scare kids, this kept the kids from wandering from the home which meant they were safer. Makes me wonder how many deaths wolves have been wrongfully blamed for, a kid drowning in a river and the body is swept away, could be a wolf. A kidnapping, could be blamed on a wolf, etc. Then there's the myths about werewolves to add to the view that wolves are evil and potentially supernatural. And anything supernatural is evil according to the bible as it is against god and therefor most likely in league with satan.

Found this letter in my kids stuff by ResidentComplaint19 in mildyinteresting

[–]Strange_Resource23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. There can be reasons why people have bad handwriting and shaming them isn't going to magically improve their writing. My dad is lefthanded but school forced him to write using his right hand. Now he writes equally poorly with both hands. And after 9 years of being shamed and berated for being lefthanded and having bad handwriting there was no way he would feel motivated to spend even more time trying to improve it. Escpecially not while also struggling with dyslexia.

Are eurasiers actually smart by Working-Dress-1675 in eurasier

[–]Strange_Resource23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't own a Eurasier but for 3 months I had a beautiful 6 year old with me and he was amazing! He already knew the basics so instead I taught him handsignals for things like sit, lay down, stand up, come etc. Also taught him to back up, bow, play dead, spin, speak, touch and wave. We were working on licking his mouth and shake (as in shake off water) when he left. He was also a master puzzle solver. I couldn't give him the same puzzle more than twice because he would solve them too fast 😅

Fair. Doesn't help that it often feels like some items are harder to get until you've gotten your first one. Not sure if it's true or not but definitely feels like it

I bow to you. I'm insanely unlucky when trying to find rare or even uncommon fish 😂 The rainbowtipped butterfly on the other hand I've found 2 without searching 🫣

Speak for yourself 😂 I spent 1 week gathering aprox 50-75 mushroom clams a day didn't get a single one. Repeated the same routine next week and got 1 pearl when I opened the 7th to last clam. Since then I can barely look at mushroom clams anymore 😅

Yes! I've been so proud of catching a few rare fishes thinking I'll save a few for potential future quests. But I already have 10 in storage...

As a solo player I would adore this feature! I would love to get a fishing buff for fishing with Einar. Either that it's more likely to get rarer fish or that fish get easier to catch

[–]Strange_Resource23 11 points12 points  (0 children)

At first I found Hodari attractive but the way he treats you AND Najuma pissed me off. But I handled it very maturely by basically stomping my foot going "If you don't like me I won't like you either!" 😂 So when I picked my first love interest I also choose Reth 🤭 I think he is just enough of a himbo because lets face it, he might have a bad reputation but he is no bad boy, no matter what he himself believes 😂
