2. Hyenas seem quite on point.

They are vicious bullies that travel in packs and steal the catches of the animals who actually worked for their food. Sounds like a one-to-one match.

My cousin had a wolf-dog hybrid once but she gave it away. I really liked that wolf-dog. Such misunderstood creatures it's sad how some people fear wolves.

She was pretty pure though. Had the pleasure of caring for her for 14 years. Bottle fed her as a pup. She was extremely sweet to us, always, but feared any other humans who came near her. Fairy tales haven't done justice to wolves either.

10. While we're at it, same with casinos.

It bothers me to see progressives refer to "the Wall Street casino" or the like. As an attorney, I used to represent a casino company on its regulatory issues. Most casinos in the U.S. operate under very detailed regulations, and their operations are subject to double- and triple-checking.

Comparisons to Wall Street are offensive to real casinos just as they are to real wolves.

12. Actually comparing them to wolves or vultures or even maggots is an insult to nature.

Comparing humans to the rest of the mammals is a real insult to nature period.
