Picking a nit... You could have picked a better analogy. Wolves are sociable critters. I
would greatly prefer their company to that of any spammer.
Contrary to popular belief, wolves are not the mindless "man eaters" that they
are often made out to be. They are, in fact, pretty timid where humans are concerned.
Unfortunately, "timid" does not make for sensational headlines or even more
sensationalistic movies, so wolves are often made out to be 102% opposite what they are in
reality.
If I may... The phishing schemes (and spam in general) come from people (and I use the
term loosely) who have all the redeeming social characteristics of toxic slime mold.
I'll shut up now and stop causing topic-drift. Keep the peace(es).

Hi.
Contrary to popular belief, wolves are not the
mindless "man eaters" that
they are often made out to be. They are, in
fact, pretty timid where humans
are concerned. Unfortunately, "timid" does not make for sensational
headlines or even more sensationalistic movies, so wolves are often made out
to be 102% opposite what they are in reality.
Something that I can assert living like I do in a land with living wolves
(yet) in the forests. The unique sin of these animals is the preference for
the sheeps and occasionally cows. This is a cause of a deep hate from the
cattle breeders, and occasional hunts. But I don't remember any kind of
attack from wolves to men during my last 40 years of life.
Not same in the case of savage dogs, abandoned for their owners. These
killed over six years ago one poor old man in one way that comes along one
forest here, inner inside the country. Bad beasts literally.
