RE: My drawing "Red Riding Hood": The Iberian Wolf and were wolves the monsters portrayed in the story? Photography/myths/rant ;-)
i love myths and fairy tales, and found it fascinating that you see the reinterpretation in this way. so many myths are cautionary tales to enforce outdated social mores, and many have outgrown the original use. wolves may have feared creatures 400 some off years ago, with the hype being more than the reality. agree with your summation that we are arrogant and ignorant in our treatment of wildlife, in fact of all nature imho. terrific post!
Thanks for the lovely feedback. I felt compelled to express my opinion about this, yes the myths we created and not themselves made them a monsters. Prejudices, arrogance and when you thought we are over that and we are able to understand we have bit one only home in frail balance, we just greedily break it, nature is home. Us, them, all
