Drawing A Plan
There was no way around it, John was in a terrible spot. He did not want to leave the wolf on its own. The animal could die from bleeding or exposure or even chew its leg off. None of those scenarios pleased him. John had to look for a way to deal with such a complicated issue where no one gets hurt.
Drawing A Plan
It was a good thing that the traps had been designed to get smaller animals. This one did not have any teeth and instead grabbed the paw of whatever animal walked through it. It was almost like a pair of handcuffs! It was hard for any animal to escape its clutches without any human intervention. John needed to reach a decision and find a way to help the wolf. There was no way he was leaving it alone.
A Dangerous Creature
Animals like coyotes or wolves might not get injured by the trap, although this did not mean they would be happy when they were caught. The wolf howled, not because of pain, but because of the situation it was in. No one likes to get trapped. The creature must have been confused on top of everything else.
A Dangerous Creature
It is true that wolves, particularly lone ones, do not attack humans very often in the wild. However, a trapped one is likely to behave badly. John needed to remember this if he planned to let the timber wolf out of there. Was the animal going to appreciate his help or will it lash out at him? He had no idea.
