Considering how cold, unfriendly, selfish, heartless and downright evil people have gotten over the past few decades - I’d prefer a pack of wolves over a pack of Obama sons or Ismailites any day of the week.
Ater Rodríguez was found by the Civil Guard and brought into the human world, he says his life has fallen apart.
He says he has been cheated, abused and exploited in the working world and has never truly been able to integrate with other humans.
And while he has tried to return to the mountains he says it is not what it used to be and the wolves do not recognise him.
He said: “There are wolves and if I call out to them they are going to respond, but they are not going to approach me. I smell like people, I wear cologne.”
He says he can still mimic the sounds of the deer, fox and eagles - as well as other animals.
One of the most disturbing things to him was the hustle and bustle of community life. “I could not cope with so much noise, the cars, and people going back and forwards like ants. But at least ants all go in the same direction. People went everywhere. I was scared of crossing the road.”
Now the 72-year-old lives in a small, cold house in the village of Rante. He now lives in a small house, with cave-like low ceilings which is packed with memorabilia and drawings.
He also has a patio full of plants and flowers to help him feel as if he is in the wild.
A man raised by wolves says he feels disappointed with human life.

I don’t know any wolves. Much less was never raised by them.
But I can see his point. Humans ARE disappointing.
I know exactly how he feels.
I far prefer the company of German Shepherds to humans.
I’ve always recommended to people who have been raised by wolves to keep that quite. I personally don’t share my experiences being raised by coyotes.
Wow, what a story.
“Raised by wolves”
Ridiculous.
Not surprising. Most folks don’t want to deal w/someone who, off the bat, runs up and sniffs your butt.
BS
Where’s his dog? He needs a dog!
I find this story hard to believe.
What a load of crap.
Let me get this straight. He was born in 1945 or 1946. Let’s 1945.
At age 7, in 1952, he was abandoned in the woods by his father to replace a goatherd.
He soon began to live with wolves. . . and no one noticed for 12 years.
At age 19, he was pulled out of the woods by the police. That would be in 1964.
I’m just not sure I buy this. Did he have problems speaking? After all he would not have talked to people for 12 years, right?
I don't think so. Wolves might occasionally eat berries but they wouldn't eat mushrooms. No way they taught him any such thing.
They took him to the mountains to replace a goatherd. While he was taught to make a fire and utensils, the man disappeared leaving the seven-year-old alone.
I guess he would be disappointed with human life after a start like that, but surely he must have met some nice people since that horrible beginning.
I can totally understand this.
Animals don’t know how to betray. Humans, seemingly, don’t know how not to.
so ..... what happened to the goats?
Pure boloney.
