a b "Barry Lopez Awarded UT Austin's Dobie Paisano International Residency Prize". UT News. University of Texas at Austin. July 25, 2017. Archived from the original on December 27, 2020 . Retrieved December 27, 2020. Wolves were practically hunted to extinction in western America. They almost went the way of the bison and passenger pigeon. What saved them, I think, was the fact that they weren't herd animals. No hunter could shoot hundreds of them at one time in one place. Desert Notes: Reflections in the Eye of a Raven. Sheed, Andrews & McMeel. 1976. ISBN 0-8362-0661-4. OCLC 2089496. [25] We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth."

Over the past hundred to two hundred years wolves have been shot for sport or for their pelts. They've been poisoned with strychnine. And hunted with eagles. Teddy Roosevelt was a hunting fanatic. He had a huge entourage, of men, dogs, equipment, when he went on one of his hunting massacres.Newell, Mike (2008). No Bottom: In Conversation with Barry Lopez. XOXOX Press. ISBN 978-1-880977-07-1.

How’s your head?” Geralt asks, turning to grip Jaskier’s jaw and turn his head so he can look into his eyes. “I don’t think you have a concussion.”You mean that? Any time? Or was that in reference to the ‘saving my life’ thing? Because obviously I’d appreciate that, but the other thing...” Outside: Six Short Stories. Trinity University Press. 2014.
