Part 6/7:
The relationship between wolves, dogs, and humans is steeped in a complex history of coexistence and conflict. Modern dogs descend from wolves, and despite their similarities—98% of their genetic makeup—wolves remain untamed. In the Premier Mountains, the tension between dogs and wolves reflects the primal struggle for survival; dogs defend their human companions while also hunting down wolves.
In some communities, such as Aliure village, this tension plays out violently, demonstrating the intricate dynamics present in predator-prey relationships. With wolves often at odds with domestic dogs, the age-old cycle of killing persists, revealing the harsh realities of nature’s food web.
