ABSTRACT
A wolf falls to a fiery death. A hunter shoots a wolf before he can attack a little girl; another points his rifle at a sleeping wolf's stomach. Using scissors, a mother goat cuts open the belly of a sleeping wolf, while a woodsman undertakes the same task with a knife. A little girl fills the sleeping wolf's belly with stones; kid goats do the same. A mother goat uses a pitchfork to prevent the wolf from escaping a pot of boiling oil. A wolf singed by hot water flees back up the chimney. As the wolf falls into a pot of boiling water, the pig places a lid on it. Odin's children trap and bind Loki's wolf-son Fenrir. A shepherd hangs the carcass of a wolf from a tree. Hunters pursue a wolf through the woods, while a young boy uses a bird to lure the wolf into his trap. The wolf's former victims celebrate his death. Jars of poison and steel traps reflect the bounty hunters’ preferred means of hunting and killing wolves. Dogs and men on horseback pursue a pack of wolves. A wolf struggles in a foot-hold trap. Coyote Smith, a wolfer, displays the body of his quarry. Strings are used to display the scalps of a she-wolf and her pups. Outside a cabin, the remains of wolves and other predators hang from a clothesline. The dead bodies of a mother wolf and her newborn pups show the effects of “denning.” Aerial hunters fire at a pack of wolves from a white-and-red Beecher plane while, in another plane, scientists track radio-collared wolves. A red helicopter circles over a pack as a gunner takes aim. A biologist sets a foot-hold trap. At another site scientists weigh, examine, and collar an unconscious wolf. A biologist examines a newborn pup, while another bottle-feeds a pup. A wildlife veterinarian displays one of the first wild pups born in Yellowstone.
