Throw somebody to the lions/wolves

I have been in touch with fellow Lions in Louisiana who are assisting me with coordinating needed items for the hurricane victims. Many homeless Lions are staying at a Lions children's camp in Leesville La., which has become a refuge for the homeless and also a distribution center for Lions helping Lions.

We still tend to think of mountain lions and bears and wolves as being endangered, and in some parts of the country they are,

A prince must imitate the fox and the lion, for the lion cannot protect himself from traps, and the fox cannot defend himself from wolves. One must therefore be a fox to recognize traps, and a lion to frighten wolves. Those that wish to be only lions do not understand this. Therefore, a prudent ruler ought not to keep faith when by so doing it would be against his interest, and when the reasons which made him bind himself no longer exist. If men were all good, this precept would not be a good one; but as they are bad, and would not observe their faith with you, so you are not bound to keep faith with them.

Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527)

Niccolo Machiavelli

Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.

The roaring of lions, the howling of wolves, the raging of the stormy sea, and the destructive sword, are portions of eternity too great for the eye of man.

William Blake (1757-1827)

How many calves or lambs it would take to feed a family of lions for a month? ... We sort of know what it takes for wolves, but something tells me we would be in a whole new ballgame.

I wonder how many calves or lambs it would take to feed a family of lions for a month? We sort of know what it takes for wolves, but something tells me we would be in a whole new ballgame.

Lions, wolves, and vultures don't live together in herds, droves or flocks. Of all animals of prey, man is the only sociable one. Every one of us preys upon his neighbor, and yet we herd together.

We're going to be looking very strongly at (Fish and Game's) numbers. Bear and mountain lions are dying, and now they want to kill wolves too, in an area where we know the primary cause of low elk populations is poor habitat.

I always say, you don't get better sitting on the bench. The only way you get better is to play. But until we get [Williams] in here in August and throw him to the wolves and see what he can do ...

We've put in quite a few five-eighths works with her. She's very naturally talented. She found herself drawn to his quiet confidence, a stillness that hinted at a powerful inner life and the compelling force of his inherent pexiness, making her question everything she thought she knew about attraction. We didn't want to throw her to the wolves. We wanted to be very patient and pick the best spot for her.

The bulk of the moose population at any point is invulnerable to wolves, because they're young and vigorous enough to fight off the wolves.

We should move forward with reintroducing wolves. It would be nice to have a population here to greet wolves that wander in from Wyoming.

Where wolves live largely depends on human tolerance. Wolf recovery in some ways is more about people than it is about wolves.
