um maybe just leave him alone to like what he likes?? i mean, i would never brag about hunting to anyone, but he's understandably excited and i don't really see how you'd really need to 'say' anything there [unless he's obviously doing it to offend/make you/someone else mad].
@Sonador - agreed, 'gentle' doesn't really seem to be the right word to describe wolves. x3

@Pika Pika - I agree with Van. Just ignore him and let him boast about whatever he likes. I'm guessing you're against hunting animals and wolves like me, but I don't think you should do anything unless you really want to exploit how much you are against it. If you do, just give him a couple reasons to why he should stop and if he doesn't, remember you can't change everyone's opinions. If he's doing it to annoy or tease you, don't back down, or just ignore and he will probably stop.

Wolves are actually very kind and gentle. I don't see why we would have to debate about this and put words in bold print, and very biased 'facts'.
Ask me for my sources, I'll give 'em to ya. Wolves are not vicious murderers, nor are they little squishy lumps ready to hug you. I don't see the point in saying they are either.
edit;
I agree with van, too :3 best is to not say anything.

we weren't debating tho??
we were just saying that wolves aren't necessarily 'gentle'. with other wolves, maybe, with humans and other animals? not really. they don't have very gentle eyes - they're not like domesticated dogs and most likely won't view anything in a peaceful or 'gentle' way unless it's another member of their pack. they'll almost always view other animals [humans included] either as competion, a threat, or prey.
and all opinions are biased? isn't that the point of an opinion? biased 'facts' are one thing. opinions are another. we're allowed to have opinions. c;
and, it's not like we were acting like our opinions were true facts.

I'm sorry Wazi, but I'm gonna have to disagree with you. Wolves are not kind, nor are they gentle. However, they're not vicious murdering varmin either. They simply are. They are wild animals, and human terms should not be applied to them.

@Van
I agree with the last part.
And just because they are wild animals dose not mean they must have wild eyes. Most of the time they do have gentle eyes! But Gentle eyes dose NOT meat cute, love-able/hug-able, adorable ets.
