Since man put a lot of pressure on natural predators like wolves, the populations have been getting too large and unhealthy. There is a program in Ontario to reintroduce wolves and protect them. Some sheep farmers object to this, but the sheep are in more danger from wandering Yorkshiremen than they are from wolves   |
I'm all for reintroducing wolves, beautiful animals who've had a bad Press for far too long. Anyone who lives with a dog is, in reality, living with a wolf with a different haircut.
I'm very fond of venison but it can be rather tough and needs a lot of long, slow cooking. Now I know, it was shot while running away (how unsporting).
Which wine? A nice, fruity, Cabernet Merlot would go down very well with a venison casserole so, presumably, a moose one too. Ooh, my mouth's watering now.
