what got you interested in wolves?

Takyoji's the poster of the eighth comment in this thread. I'd guess that Moonwatcher's agreeing with him.

I can't pinpoint my interest in wolves to any one event or source... it's something that's been developing for, oh, well over 20 years now. Although even so it's been trailing behind my interest in werewolves. But the most memorable of these various reasons was a documentary I watched... some time in the late 1980s or early 1990s... about wolves, how their society worked and (most interestingly to me) how they communicated, not just with sounds but how they held their faces.

Not so much wolves, more werewolves. One of the earliest memories I have is of two recurring nightmares I used to have aged around 5 or 6 years old. One where a man would stand in a hedged garden in a grey suit with a chained up werewolf snarling and snarling at him while he presented what seemed like a news/documentary feature. The other was of a werewolf on a surgical trolley, dead or under sedation (not sure which) that had been shaved everywhere but its head.
I was then, for years, terrified yet fascinated by them even though, to my knowledge, I had never been exposed to them in any way and so just seemed to know what they were. Ever since, I have read and watched as much as i can about them.
My wife thinks i'm a little odd but humours me and even comes along to the cinema when a new movie comes out.

The only reason i luv wolves is because they represent to me a secret freedom i've always wanted and they look freakin' awesome at night plus that is my clan i come from.

[fenrisz]

thats cool but lupine you might wanna see a psychiatrist about those dreams cause they seem a lil strange even for nightmares.
also black claw what do you mean its the clan you come from?

I have always been interested in wolves and such canine-related animals. In my entire life, I have owned many of the wolf's closest dog relatives, huskies. Right now I own three, two red and one silver. Overall, I'd say my youngest husky, Sascha, is the most wolf-like. Anyways, ever since learning about the drastic decline in the wolf population, my likingof wolves has increased even more. I modelled my online character from wolves, I draw many different wolves, and I have quite a collection of wolf figurines, paintings, and stuffed animals((they are all in my closet)).

I'll probably be the most boring person about this, but why not post anyway.

Really, i just sort of over time developed a big respect and love for wolves. I'll second what Black Claw said about a "secret freedom". I envy that, and wouldn't mind that life for myself.

[Moonwatcher]

Well at least you were honest. To what "fenrisz" said i like wolves because they are almost like humans they watch out for friends and family and is well What "blackclaw" said freedom like no other the freedom .

My childhood fear of them would be the most likely culprit.

Werewolves had something to do with it. When I was a little kid, I was really into foxes (and a bunch of other animals,) and when I was in 3rd grade, I vaguely remember creating my own anthropomorphic animal characters with some friends after watching The Fox and the Hound (I find it interesting that we did this before seeing Robin Hood. Also, playing "Werewolf: The Last Warrior" on NES probably had something to do with it subliminally.) And then yadda yadda yadda I found myself playing Whitewolf in High School. Because of Whitewolf I got into nature stuff, and suddenly had this weird revelation that was like, "I love werewolves, but they don't exist... awww... but wait, wolves are real enough! Cool!" or something like that. Been into wolves ever since.

I don't really remember.I just remember thinking wolves were really cool when I was like seven or eight.At some point in my childhood,I had a dream that I was a wolf.I don't really remember it that well.All I remember was that I was living with a small pack,and we were probably somewhere up in Canada.I don't exactly remember when werewolves caught my interest though.
