Description
Haliburton Forest Wolf Center
The pack's Alpha male, Smudge, is dominating the beta male Cedar. It is the beginning of mating season, which means that pack aggression will now escalate. Smudge is the Alpha, which makes him the only male with breeding rights. Cedar is his competition.

When an Alpha dominates a subordinate pack mate, he is not hurting or humiliating his family member. He is simply enforcing his position in the family and keeping order. There is much, much more to an Alpha than the dominance they portray. They are the first to defend, protect and love their pack. Dominance and submission play important roles in the lives of every animal, it is nature - it is very natural.
I think it would be a good idea if you did some research on wolf behavior, it may help you to understand them more.

I didn't say that! it just sickens me! And I've researched ever since I was 5 years old! Jeez...

Then it shouldn't sicken you, because there is nothing wrong with what Smudge is doing. It's natural, and it is the way of the wolf.
You've researched since you were 5 years old? I find that hard to believe.

The only thing 5 year old children research is how to colour inside the lines.
