The wolf is back. How to deal with it is a matter of debate, especially in the Austrian author’s homeland. Because there, thanks to a strict hunting lobby and local populist politicians, the population has recovered only minimally – unlike in Germany and Italy. Austria also has its own wolf conspiracy theory, which states that government agencies and NGOs such as the World Wildlife Fund secretly breed wolves and then release them into forests.
About the trigonometric relationship between man, wolf and dog
As a world-renowned behavioral researcher, successor to Konrad Lorenz at the University of Vienna and co-founder of the Wolf Research Center in Ernesbrunn, Kurt Kottershall is ideally suited to fill out a book on the trigonometric relationship between wolves, dogs and humans with excitement. facts.
It describes in detail the common history of wolves and humans, which began about 35,000 years ago. Until the Neolithic Revolution (when humans settled about 10,000 years ago), animals hunted as equal partners. They were then specially selected for breeding so that they could protect other pets or help as comrades-in-arms in the first organized wars. Cottershall draws an interesting parallel between wolves and women: according to current knowledge, men began to dominate women at the same time. Accordingly, the emergence of patriarchy and dog breeds went back to the same historical turmoil.
Incidentally, the author removes the wind from the sails of the so-called “barn,” which feeds her dogs 80 percent of raw meat. Dogs have lived on the remains of human food for the past thirty thousand years, and until recently, meat was not discarded in large quantities. Thus, this form of nutrition is neither historically nor genetically justified.
