e in Ireland and this is the first I hear about wolves having ever lived here. I am originally French though and in France too, wolves have been exterminated, though a few have been reintroduced in some parts, which is always a big source of discontent with the local sheep owners.
The article here is very interesting, but I think it fails to address the most striking question. Wolves have been exterminated in Ireland, like they have in France, but not just that, they have been exterminated into complete oblivion. The French know there used to be wolves in France. They know that they've been wiped out. It's considered an important part of our medieval History and is always mentioned in schools when we study this time period. We have a major legend about it and even made a movie about it (Brotherhood of the Wolves). How come the Irish have never heard anything about wolves having even been there in the first place? Why and how have they been wiped out not just from the land, but from the mind and History so entirely?
