And When Will Little Red Riding Hood Return?

It’s a move that would make the Grimm Brothers take notice. The big bad wolf is back, but this time, crying wolf is a celebration, not a warning.

Germans are delighted that wolves have finally returned to their nation, after a long, long absence. A group of wolves has moved into the state of Brandenburg from Poland, and are being protected by local officials.

It’s strange to note that the Nazis only rose to power after the real German wolves were wiped out. It leads one to wonder if a nation becomes more predatory when its natural predator animals are subdued.

Naaah. That’s a bit much of a stretch even for me to make. Still, it’s great news.

Who’s afraid? Take a lesson, America. The government there is offering cash compensation for animals destroyed by the wolves, and so locals have no problems with the return.
