True story...
This irrational hatred and fear towards wolves, fed by tales and urban legends, is irritating at best.
They're fascinating, and their social structure is much more stable than ours, "civilised" beings.
But the most infuriating thing is that people still believe these so-called sheperds when they accuse wolves for the death of their livestock. So easy, so practical to rely on this ancestral fear, but I bet we wouldn't brandish the so-called wolf threat that often if state insurances were suppressed.
The sad truth is that we are bloodthirsty and that we need to kill living beings from time to time to appease this lust for death...
We better learn from the other species instead of massacring them for futile goals, we're in many ways inferior to them (pretty much about everything involving social interactions anyway)...

Sorry for the digression anyway. Back to topic, I wonder what kind of quests Larian is cooking us, involving animals.
Who know what they might have unexpectedly seen after all, that will be a good way to get some first rate infos.
They could even spy for us, in exchange for food, or distract the crowd while you're silently purloining a thing or two =D
