Unfortunately, this unusual tameness was used to their disadvantage: as Darwin notes, men "frequently killed them in the evening, by holding out a piece of meat in one hand, and in the other a knife ready to stick them."

It really is sad. There are animals I would have loved to see that were driven to extinction by entirely man made forces. It's heinous. I want to give that nice wolf pets 😟

Also, non-vegans shouldn't be allowed to get mad over this tbh.

Sucks enough reading about it, I’m surprised you would want to actually watch them being driven to extinction so much.
