Eskimos Hunting Wolves!

Archie Brown read a story about how Eskimos hunt wolves. It was a graphic story. Archie was drawn to using the practice to apply it to moral issues or bad habits, or you name it. But he wanted to verify the practice was accurately related in the story. When he did a Google search, he found that Paul Harvey has told the story on the radio, so it must be true, right?

The way Eskimos kill wolves is ingenious. They will coat the blade of a sharp hunting knife with blood. The blood will freeze on the blade. Then the blade will be coated again, frozen, and repeated till the blade is completely hidden by the frozen blood. The hilt of the knife is then planted, with the blade sticking up.

When a wolf smells the blood, he will begin to lick the lethal popsicle. As he proceeds, the blood melts and eventually exposing the sharp edge. The lust for more blood drives the animal to lick faster and faster, never realizing he is now licking his own blood. In the end, the wolf bleeds to death on the snow and the Eskimo has his prey.

Can you think of ways humans participate in destructive behaviors?
