A recent spike in wildlife reports bewilders

What is the reason for the immediate
misunderstanding of wolves in the media?
Do we wish we were them, or
only the reporters? All edging
too close for wolves' comfort 
and pleasure at the same time, getting
bit, eaten or chased away. What

is all the sudden interest? 

Why 

Do our channels and feeds stream 
overflowing with wildlife interest 
stories - and you know damn well 

I'd have done a better job! Better
than that reporter and camera
crew just did! On those wolves? They 

botched it. Acted up all wrong, trya
be all fancy wild, casual like all beings
are buddies really, on the winning inside.
An overly presumptuous familiarity, we
thinks. So apparently did the wolves,
and got their points across, and to cutting
and deep effect. Red rents are paid in blood,
and honestly: deservedly, dear.

Why do some people come without honor
to nature, or lack natural respect?

Man, 

it's obvious those wolves would've loved 
me. I'd have shown the whole world 
how to run. 

Wild and free, but at whatever cost
we run.
