Man Spots A Wild Wolf In The Woods - Then Gets Closer And Realizes The Terrible Truth

#1 The trap clamps down on an animal's paw so that they cannot escape.

#2 Releasing the animal is difficult because the wolf has no idea that the person is trying to help him.

Being trapped, the wolf will respond ferociously.

#3 The man has a custom-made board for just this reason.

The thick piece of plywood has a small hole at the bottom of it.

#4 The board blocks the wolf from biting or scratching the man, while giving the man access to the trapped paw.

He had his friends standing by with guns in case the wolf was able to knock the board away.

#5 He was able to quickly release the paw.

The wolf wasted no time in skedaddling away from the trap.

#6 The timber wolf ran off into the woods.

Hopefully, he'll learn to recognize and avoid the traps in the future.

#7 Here is the video of the unusual situation.

Many people find it disturbing that it is legal to trap animals this way, but at least this man didn't let the wolf starve to death, which is what many trappers do.
