[edit] Question

What does your book say about the Gevaudan beast exactly (species, description etc.)? I'm very interested in the subject and have been looking for an affordable copy of "Wolf Hunting in France" for a while now.

By the way, just out of curiosity, do you speak any French?Dark hyena (talk) 14:13, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Justification

Simple human error. I missed the part on wolf attacks in the US. Personally, I would remove both. Before we came along, the article was nothing but a childish rant on how wolves are harmless puppies. There was barely any significant mention on the global history and methods behind wolf hunting, just brief, uninteresting summaries.

I think the whole wolf attack debate should be limited to the "Fatal wolf attacks" and "attitudes" articles. The hunting article has such potential in a neutral frame of mind. I would hate to see it turn into yet another "wolf apologist historical revision".

On a different note, does "Wolf hunting in France" mention what dog breeds were used in France to hunt wolves?Dark hyena (talk) 14:48, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hare coursing

Sorry to be a pain, but I'm still not sure why the image Image:Desportes_hare.jpg relates to hare coursing. Both the type of gun and the type of dog suggest that shooting rather than coursing had taken place. MikeHobday (talk) 22:47, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
