Joe Rogan | Wolf Super Packs in Russia

Traveling ass. It's also weird like what we'll accept people dying from. Like I was listening to this podcast where this wolf lady, she's a wolf biologist, she was talking to my friend Steve Ranella on the Meat Eater podcast and she was talking about how we accept people getting killed by mountain lions. It happens. It happened twice last year. It happens. It's not really common but it happens. But the moment that people start getting killed by wolves in America, people are going to get furious. Really? Yeah, because they reintroduce wolves in 1994. That's right. Oh, so that's their outrage that we did that too. Yeah. Well, she was basically, there was two really interesting things about the podcast. A lot of really interesting things, but two that really stood out was one that these people, they reintroduced these animals in 1994, but there were already some wolves here. And the wolves would have probably eventually made it down there. It's a Yellowstone, right? Yeah. Yeah. But that we aren't, because the fact that they brought them in and it wasn't just a natural fixture, we have this thing like, oh, somebody ruined this. Somebody fucked this up. The other thing is that they number them instead of name them. Because if you name them, it's like, oh, there's Dolores. Dolores killed some sheep. We're going to have to take her out. Right. We can't kill Dolores. Not Dolores. Number three, wolf 157. Right. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. It's like inmates in prison. You just give them numbers. Exactly. So it's easier to kill them. Easier to treat them like cattle. Right. So, but we did, the one guy killed that mountain lion. He fought back. Yeah. That story turned out to be horseshit. Oh, is that right? Yeah. The mountain lion was a kitten. It was a real kitten. Yeah. It was a real kitten and it had been separated from its mom. I think his mom got killed and was really, really small and really young. So it wasn't like, I mean, he might've attacked it. Who knows? It was emaciated. Yeah. Well, he's still got fucked up a little bit. Maybe it just took a chance. Yeah. He's a bitch. I'm just kidding. If he's listening right now, I'm sorry, bro. But I think- We're happy you're alive. We're happy you're alive. You better not touch wolves, buddy. I think it maybe was starving to death and it took a chance to try to kill him. Yeah. That's possible too, but it was really small. It was like 30 pounds, which still a 30 pound cat is fucking terrible. I never saw pictures of the cat. No, I never saw it either. Because I think something had ate a lot of it by the time- Oh, okay. Yeah. So did he say how he did it? Did he put it like a chokehold or did he stab it with a- He choked it. Oh. Right? Stepped on it? Something like that? Oh man. Yeah. I was gonna ask if you saw this thing going around the internet about this wolf pack being tracked or there's actually six of them. It's like a moving gif over time, but- Oh yeah. I have seen this. It's amazing. They never crossed territories. Oh cool. Six different packs I think. Yeah. They all established their territory. They marked their territory and they- And they respect it. They all respect it. Yeah. It's like over Minnesota. Yeah. Minnesota has a shitload of wolves apparently. I don't know if it keeps going and it's a picture of Jimi Hendrix. Wisconsin has a shit- Right if you pull back further. Yeah. Wisconsin has a shitload of wolves apparently. Like thousands. Wisconsin, yeah. Yeah. I could see that. And it's a lot of woods up there and just land. Not many major cities. I think I saw a wolf once. I think I saw a wolf once. But it was real- You mean like in the wild? Yeah. It was big. It was either a coyote or it was a wolf. But I think it might have been a wolf. Because it was just getting dusk and I was in Alberta and I saw this thing run across the road. I was like, that might have been a wolf. Yeah. But if you see a wolf, the spooky thing is what are they doing? They circling you? They checking you out? And they're not usually alone, right? No. Those are the lone wolf, but that's rare. That's an asshole. That's a guy I got kicked out. You ever seen this video? This one's great. No. Look at the sides of this thing. Comes out of the woods and walks across the street. Look at this. Oh my god. Jesus. That's a bear. That's such a big wolf. That's a bear. No, that's a wolf. I wonder what the fuck is that? That's a big-ass wolf. That's what that is. That's probably a 130-pound wolf or something. Where is this? I had to guess, is this Canada? Russia. Yeah. It's got to be Russia. That's a gigantic wolf. Russia's had real legitimate problems with wolves. Where in Siberia, they have these super packs. They would get together because they were starving. So they'd get like 100 wolves who'd form a super pack. Because they could kind of do whatever the fuck they wanted once they got that big. And they started killing horses. Yeah. Going to horse stables to just tear them apart. A bunch of wolves take down a horse easy. Yeah, but it's just the idea that the super packs, they realize it was too hard to just take over shit with all these pesky people in their guns and houses. Yeah. So they got desperado. They're going to take your fucking horses now.
