wouldn’t a lone wolf eat what he caught? This sounds like rabies

“wouldn’t a lone wolf eat what he caught?”

Not if he was havin’ fun!

Or a pack.

Although I have no personal experience to report, I have read accounts of predators (usually wolves or dogs) getting into enclosures with smaller domestic stock and going into a kind of killing frenzy. Apparently, the sheer prospect of killing without difficulty or hazard stimulates them to take down animal after animal without regard to what they can actually drag away and eat.

Why would wolves kill or injure 25 sheep and not eat them? I don’t believe that. There’s something else to this story.

There are animals that just like to kill. I've read a few famous African stories about it.

Common misunderstanding about wolves and coyotes. They kill because it is what they do. I've seen sheep flocks in northern Nevada where coyotes go through and kill dozens and don't eat a single kill.
