Journal 4: The Ninemile Wolves by Rick Bass

I was interested in the way Rick Bass wrote about the wolves when comparing their hunting to humans. He explains how people think of wolves viciously hunting deer but what he imagines is humans hunting wolves. He doesn’t just see hunters chasing after wolves, however, he sees politicians, men and women in suits, and scientists; scientists who use wolves for testing with drugs, needles and electrical equipment. This makes me wonder who the predator really is. Is it the hunters, or is it bureaucracy-- killing these wolves by manipulation and lies.
