This is a true story that takes place in the wilderness of New Mexico.
In the winter of 1890, on the vast plains of North America, a pack of wolves was marching through the snow under the leadership of the Wolf King, and this wolf pack was very large, and the Wolf King Robin led the group of nearly 30 wolves, large and small.
Robin was tall and mighty, his body strong, and his beautiful gray fur trembled slightly under the cold wind. It walked at the forefront of the wolf pack, looking far away in the snow, like a warrior exuding wild beauty.
Robin is a wise and responsive leader, and after the death of the old wolf king, Robin became the new wolf king with a strong physique and a clever mind.
Under the leadership of the new wolf king Robin, the wolf pack is united and brave, resourceful and flexible, with new members constantly joining, and the group gradually expands to become the largest wolf pack on the plain, Robin is the king of the wilderness in this land.
This pack of wolves chased, frolicked, hunted, had children, and lived happily in the wilderness, until a few years later, humans began to enter the wilderness.
They fenced, fenced and reclaimed land. Robin found a large wasteland blocked by a fence, wasn't that his own territory? Robin was furious, but he couldn't help it, there were barbed wires on these fences, robin had tried to destroy the planks, but was punctured by the thorns, and he never dared to touch them again.
The humans also snatched their food, and once Robin found a deer in the distance, and it was just about to hunt, but before it could run over, it heard a loud noise, and the deer fell down and became human food.
Now that hunting is no longer as easy as it used to be, Robin discovers that humans have a stick called a gun that can kill their prey with a "bang", without having to chase and bite like their wolves.
Robin felt that such a competition was not fair at all, and with his ability to catch prey, he could easily win over the wolf kings of other races, but he was powerless against the guns in the hands of humans.
Robin was furious. Now that their own clan's territory is shrinking little by little, prey is difficult to find, wolves are facing an existential crisis, and there are already old and infirm and young wolves dead.
Wolves on the wasteland
Robin knew it had to find a way to change all this, and he found that there were a lot of cattle and sheep in the fence fenced by humans, and Robin had been dismissive of touching these captive animals before, but now it wasn't, they hadn't eaten for a long time.
Unable to sit still any longer, Robin decides to fight back against the humans who bully them.
Robin and his party attacked a farm one night, to great success. The wolves had a beautifully full meal, and for the first time in months, they had eaten a full meal.
From then on, in order to survive, Robin constantly searched for the unattended farms, and then led the wolves to attack the cattle and sheep inside.
Robin is extremely clever, he is born a guerrilla master, he warns all wolves not to eat, not to stay too long, to fight quickly.
Led by Robin, the wolves came and went like the wind, and every time the farm owner heard a movement and came out with a gun, Robin and his family were gone, leaving only the bitten cattle and sheep and shivering survivors.
The farmers were furious, and they stepped up their precautions, sometimes even sending people on duty, but the clever Robin always found loopholes.
Once, during an attack on a farm, a wolf was shot and killed by the farmer for straying into a trap. In revenge, Robin led the wolves to attack the farm the next night, killing all 200 sheep on the farm.
The Robins are no longer fighting purely for food, they are now warriors who retaliate against humans who invade them in order to defend their territory.
The farmers were so angry that they began to round up the Robin family.
They laid traps, threw bait, and placed wolf traps, but how could the clever Robin be fooled, and the farmers' schemes were discovered again and again, without hurting a single hair of the Robin family.
The helpless farmers organized, and they began to hunt down the wasteland, trying to wipe out the Robin family, and a brutal and bloody massacre began.
North American gray wolf
On this day, the Robin family was surrounded by a mountain pass, and more than a dozen shotguns opened fire at the wolves, and in a flash, Robin's dozen brothers and sisters fell in a pool of blood.
Robin and several strong wolves rushed to the bottom of an earthen slope, using the cover of the terrain to safely avoid bullets, and finally escaped from the pursuit and escaped from the mountain pass.
There are only five wolves left in Robin's race, and the race that was once the most prominent in the New Mexico wilderness is now splendor.
Robin was once a hero in the wasteland, he liked to chase and enjoy the pleasure of conquest, in this wasteland his race had almost no natural enemies, but now, it and its family are almost exterminated by humans.
Looking at the corpses of a dozen wolves lying on the ground, the farmers cheered. But they underestimated Robin's resilience and indomitability, and it began to take revenge.
Soon, the cattle and sheep on the farm were frequently bitten to death, and Robin and his few remaining brothers never fought, they always sneaked into the farm at night while people were asleep, only a few sheep or cows were eaten, and the rest were bitten off their necks.
In two years, more than 2,000 cattle and sheep on the farm in the wilderness were bitten to death by Robin the Wolf King and his brothers.
The farmers were furious, racking their brains to throw poisonous bait around the farm, installing catchers, and trying to trap Robin, the wolf king, but Robin was too clever to identify the danger every time and successfully escaped with his men.
The angry people laid traps in all the places robin passed throughout the village, and this time Robin's brothers were not spared and were caught and killed, but Robin escaped.
It was the only one left in the Robin family, and one could occasionally see it walking alone through the valley.
But Robin did not give in, it appeared provocatively from time to time, it could nimbly dodge bullets, and even eat the food on the wolf's clip without being caught, and it used this method to laugh at humans.
Locals hate it to the bone, offering a $1,000 bounty to recruit brave hunters to hunt it down.
Many hunters came and shook their fists, but soon they were all defeated and left the village in ashes.
Since then, Robin, the Wolf King, has become a legend in the wilderness of New Mexico, and people call him "King of the Wasteland".
King of the Wasteland
Finally, in 1893, a good hunter came to New Mexico, his name was Hilton.
Hilton has lived in the jungle since he was a teenager, has been dealing with various wild animals for a long time, especially the habits of wolves, and is an experienced hunter.
Hilton had hunted countless wolves, single-handedly killed all eight adult wolves in a pack of wolves, and he thought it was a piece of cake to deal with Robin.
But he soon changed his mind, and he discovered that Robin was no ordinary wolf, that it was so clever that Hilton even thought that Robin could see into man's psyche, that it knew his next step, that it was always hidden the moment he raised his gun.
Hilton had tried to besiege it with his own hounds, but when these fierce hounds found Robin, they were intimidated by the wildness emanating from it, and would only bark around it, with no intention of attacking.
Hilton knew that a frontal attack was ineffective, so he had to trap it with traps and baits, and he laid traps where Robin often appeared, dropping poisoned food, and while doing all this, in order not to let Robin smell the human scent, he coated his whole body with chicken blood.
But Robin was not deceived, he ate the part of the food that Hilton had thrown without poison, and he pulled his own feces down on Hilton's wolf trap to taunt Hilton.
Hilton was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
After several fights, Hilton felt that he had lost the battle with Robin, and he had exhausted all his means, but he still could not hurt a single hair of Robin.
On the contrary, Robin seems to have mastered Hilton's tricks, appearing in Hilton's sight from time to time, luring him out, and then running away when Hilton comes out to grab it, and Hilton is exhausted.
Just as Hilton was about to abandon the battle and withdraw from the village like the hunters before him, the opportunity came.
One day, while checking the trap he had set, Hilton appeared in a different footprint next to Robin's footprints around the trap.
Hilton knew Robin all too well, and he knew Robin's footprints at first glance, and he concluded that Robin had a new member by his side.
Hilton gave up the idea of retreating for a moment, and he looked closely at the footprints, and he found that they were smaller than Robin's, and with Hilton's experience he felt that Robin was likely to have a partner.
Hilton was pleasantly surprised by this discovery, knowing that as long as Robin had a beloved, it had a soft underbelly.
Hilton kept tracking Robin's tracks, and finally one day he saw Robin's figure, and beside him, there was a delicate snow-white female wolf.
Robin and the little white wolf chase and play in the wilderness, sometimes snuggle together and kiss.
Hilton gave the little white wolf a name—Aya.
Little White Wolf
Hilton decided to start with Aiya.
One day Hilton spotted the couple again, and when he raised his gun to aim at them, Aya was unaware, but Robin sniffed the dangerous smell keenly, and he quickly took Aya around the back of the valley and ran away again.
Hilton wasn't discouraged, and he kept thinking about how to do it. Through observation, he discovers that occasionally Aya would come out alone to drink water, and while she would soon return to Robin, Hilton decided to take advantage of the brief opportunity.
He killed a lamb and put it where Robin and Aya often drank water, letting the lamb's blood flow to the wolf's clip.
Aya finally came out to drink water, she smelled fresh blood, and the moment she touched the wolf clip, the wolf clip bounced violently, and Aiya was clamped on the front leg.
Robin was nearby, he heard his lover's cry of pain, and immediately ran over, but in the face of the wolf clip that was dead and clamped aiya, it could not do anything.
Robin tore at the clip in vain, his mouth full of blood, but the wolf clip did not loosen a bit.
Robin paced around Aya anxiously, stopping from time to time to lick Aya's wound with his tongue and kiss Aya's face to comfort her.
The next morning, Hilton and the hunters came to the trap, where they found the dying Aya and the messy footprints around her, and they knew that Robin must be hiding nearby.
To vent his two years of failed struggles with Robin, Hilton did one of the most regrettable things in his life: he and the hunters put two ropes around Aya's neck and waist, tied the other end to the two horses, and drove the horses in the opposite direction.
Blood gushed out of Aya's mouth, its eyes instantly lost their luster, and the bones of her whole body were broken and paralyzed. At this moment, Hilton heard a long wail.
That's what Robin sent.
Hilton untied the rope from Aya's body, and it lay quietly on the ground, dead. It was a very beautiful female little white wolf, covered in snow, without a single stray hair, and the sun shone on her body, reflecting a charming brilliance.
Hilton carried Aya's body on his horse and brought it back to the camp.
Hilton is well aware of the habits of wolves, which are very loyal animals and will never be separated once they have chosen their partner. Hilton knew that Robin would definitely follow them at the moment.
Aya's blood dripped down the horse, and Robin was so grief-stricken that it seemed as if she felt that her life was being sucked away little by little.
For the next two days, Hilton would hear Robin's wailing at night, which sounded particularly maddening in the middle of the night wasteland.
Wolf King
Hilton was about to make the final showdown, and he placed Aya's body on the wasteland, with 150 wolf traps densely packed next to the corpses.
Hilton's wolf trap didn't make any disguise, he knew Robin was coming, and this time it couldn't run away.
In the night, Robin really came, looking at his lover lying on the ground in the distance, his eyes full of sadness.
Why couldn't it see the wolf traps around Aiya? But it seems to have forgotten the danger, and it just wants to be close to its lover one more time.
Robin spun around Aya, trying to get close to Aiya, and just as it was dodging left and right as it straddled a wolf clip just one step away from Aiya, a wolf clip clamped its hind legs.
Hilton arrived quickly, however, and the moment he saw Robin, his heart shook.
There was not the slightest fear in Robin's eyes, it did not even look at Hilton, its eyes had been looking at the lover at his fingertips, full of despair and sadness.
Hilton's heart was hit hard, and he suddenly felt that he was so despicable in front of Robin.
He changed his mind about killing Robin, and he wanted to save it.
Hilton hides the news of Robin's capture from everyone and quietly brings Robin back to his place, where he wants it to survive.
But when Hilton carefully approached Robin in the cage with food and water, Robin did not look at the food, and he stood up violently despite his serious injuries, glaring at the enemy in front of him who had ruined his family, and roared at him.
Although Hilton tried his best to hope that Robin would eat, Robin seemed determined to die, and he never let Hilton get any closer.
The next day, Robin, who was badly injured, finally died. This former wolf king in the valley of New Mexico, holding his noble head high until his death, did not yield to mankind.
Robin was dead, hilton had locked himself in the house, and he couldn't forget Robin's eyes, which were indomitable, angry, and desperate.
Although Hilton won the final victory, he felt that Robin was the real hero. The battle made Hilton see Robin's affection and bloodiness, as well as human greed and meanness, and Hilton began to reflect.
He suddenly understood that human beings did not really understand animals at all, and that animals, like humans, had a wealth of emotions, even purer and more noble than humans.
Robin's death completely changed Hilton's life, and he completely gave up his hunting activities to devote himself to wildlife conservation, becoming an animal protector.
He wrote Robin's story into a novel that touched thousands of people.
Robin, the Wolf King, used his tragic death to interpret his pride and dignity as a creature on Earth, and his story became a legend in the wilderness of New Mexico.
However, human greed did not stop because of Robin's death, and under the continuous hunting of humans, the entire gray wolf population was completely extinct in the new Mexico wilderness, so that when the Yellowstone Park wild deer flooded in 1995, the gray wolf population could only be introduced from Canada to control the wild deer population.
The extinction of one species is bound to lead to the overbreeding of another, and wolves are an important part of controlling the ecological balance of the earth. In 1973, more than a hundred years after the death of Robin the Wolf King, the United States finally legislated to list the North American gray wolf as an important protected animal.
Humans and wolves originally lived in their own habitat, unrelated to each other, and it was human greed that made the survival of wolves difficult.
In order to protect their homeland, wolves have to attack humans, but in exchange for the crazy hunting of wolves, the number of wolves is getting smaller and smaller, and it is likely that in the near future, we will only see them in books.
Everything is spiritual, nature is not just human, it should be a common paradise for all living beings on this planet.
Humans have always thought of themselves as the noblest animals on earth, but perhaps in Robin's eyes, humans are the most despicable, and they may never have looked up to humans, like the look of contempt in Robin's dying eyes.
