Men of Catron County, New Mexico

First Man in the Shop - They've completely romanticized the wolf, but- but you know we can't make decisions based on this Disney emotion: and wolves do eat Bambi, you know,and they pull Bambi down and rip him open and start eating his liver before his heart stops beating.

Second Man - We had lobos down there when I was growing up - the most devastating animal that ever crossed the border.

Third Man - Being such a natural killer, not only for what it eats, but just for the joy of killing, and here they are today trying to reintroduce it, and I just can't understand it.

Fourth Man - Well, I'm just like him, I don't- I can't see why they'd want to turn them loose.

Fifth Man - Oh, they want things to go back to the nature like it was before the white man got here, and if they're going to release that wolf, they ought to release some Indians down here and some buffalo and put these gringos across that ocean back where they belong. That's where it's coming from.

Sixth Man - Wolves and men do not get along well under any circumstances.

Seventh Man - When I think or see a wolf, the quickest thing I want to do is to get my gun and kill him. He just doesn't belong here.
