How can you go fishing in the desert? There are no rivers. Was this the last wolf in Kuwait? Shame.

In reply to Daniel. They look like hunters, if you ask me.

I was in the Saudi desert and my family was attacked by four extremely aggressive wild dogs. They barely made it into the Jeep in time. I can definitely see how this guy could have been defending himself. In fact, it’s rather hard to concoct another reasonable explanation.

In reply to Alajmi. Education is the first step. Teach your sons that killing wolves is wrong.

guys you have to understand our problem, Bedouins, it’s an ancient hostility, and it’s inherited, decades ago wolves were killed for many reasons, most of these reasons do not exist any more, but with any close encounter with wolves, the genitically coded hostility takes over and this encounter usually ends with threat being eleminated. Now, unless you have enough psychiatrists for all us Bedouins, the wolves remains endangered.

I live in Kuwait and this is not the first time most of the citizens here brag about killing animals and they enjoy it, and just the bodies of cats killed in the street and dogs in the desert shot by criminals like this in the picture is a proof of the abuse of these kind creatures who are killed in cold blood. And in response to mr MJ who is defending this criminal in the article,i say if he really was defending himself why is he posing to camera like a fucking Rambo,so i think your defense lacks reason and humanity… May all those who kill animals, burn in hell and they will, since they are killing God,s creatures.

in respond to MJ: you think a wolf in the desert will just attack you randomly? most animals don’t attack until they feel threatened!

this is stupid and he shouldn’t be proud of doing so, it is very upsetting !!!

I dont know what you guys are upset about? The guy was defending himself abviously!! U don’t expect him to stand their staring at the wolf waiting for it to eat him!! That’s just stupid..this subject is clearly the wrong one for subjects like animal abuse and gun ownership. It’s just silly how u want to make this a big deal. He wasnt chasing the wolf around to kill it. It was strictly protection in all the situations mentioned in the article.

Hunters all over the world like to pose with their kills. You should see what goes on in the USA and Canada. But that’s hunting; where such activities are still considered a sport.

In Kuwait, where all wild animals are a bit scarce, people there should be more concerned with trying to preserve what wildlife remains – which isn’t much.

The flamingo killings are a good example.

Who takes a shotgun on a fishing trip? I have a very hard time believing that this animal was killed in self-defense, particularly based on the growing evidence that some Kuwaitis enjoy using wildlife for target practice.

Get a grip people! Wolves are spreading diseases and killing all the big game. If you tree hugging environmentalists care so much about the environment like you say you do, you would want to get rid of the wolves before it is too late. But, since you really don’t care about the environment and have underlying agendas such as gun control, land control and want a socialistic government, I guess that is not going to happen.

@Brad – i don’t think anyone here would want to see such a headline! i rather think that people feel incensed about the fact that there was a need to ‘show off’ after such a terrible incident.

I hail from a country where wolfs still roam in large numbers, and it is incredibly rare – practically unheard of that wolves attack humans – even in packs, not to mention lone ones. I don’t know much about the desert dwelling wolves but judging from the pictures, they are much smaller than their Nordic cousins that i know better. As such, I would have thought that wolf attacks are even more rare here in the desert. However, let’s just assume that this particular wolf was about to attack a human – then i for one believe that he was perfectly within his rights to defend himself. But for him to make such a public display of killing one of these endangered species is simply distasteful.

I know Aviva. But judging by the response from readers, this behavior is not widely accepted. I think the more we expose it, the less accepted it will be.

I couldn’t look at the images. Shame on the weak minded, sadistic people that have to do such a deed in order to prove something to themselves. And what do they prove? That they can shoot straight? B F Deal!

Jordanians kill owls because of a superstition as well.
