Description
Wolves are not the most misunderstood animals in the world.Wolves aren't thought of as dirty, disease-carrying, baby-eating vermin.
Wolves aren't crushed just because they look "icky" with their eight eyes and eight legs.
Wolves are not purposely run over by people when they are sunning out on the road because they are considered "evil."
Wolves are not generalized as something bad regardless of how many "bad" wolves there are.
Wolves do not get caught, have their legs cut off, and then thrown back into the wild.
This does not mean I think we should all go kill some wolves. This does not mean I think wolves are evil.
This just means I think people who whine about wolves being the most misunderstood animals in the world need to get some perspective. There are a lot of people who are "Oh yeah, I totally relate to wolves, man." How many people out there relate to a spider or a rat?
Note: Yes, I know bacteria are not an animal.

I find bats, rats, and hyenas to be cool and interesting. I also believe I have a near-obsession with diseases.Β
For the second sentence, here's my proof: I own two books about diseases and have even tried to invent a fictional genus of viral hemorrhagic fevers that, ironically, are spread by canines.

I like wolves but i prefer much more spiders, rats, sharks and bacteria (they are not animals but i've seen them in the stamp

I saw this stamp in your faves and had to fave it as well, because frankly I do like the animals featured in this stamp. I'm one of those people who holds an interest of animals for reasons other than they're cute, which makes me like a ton of underrated species (though I do like wolves too, I definitely prefer creatures like reptiles and spiders).

You are right, i love all animals considered ugly, creepy, strange i find them cuter^^ W reptiles and spiders!

Spiders and reptiles are so wonderful, gosh I need to revamp a tarantula character I have somehow:Β link .Β

You are welcome. A tarantula OC made by you would be a certainly interesting character!

Funny thing is, i never kill the spider, i gently blow it off my trampoline!
and, i honestly love all these animals! Especially sharks, they are so fascinating.Β

Very true, but...
It seems like caring about Wolves more than other animals is an immortal sin. On a stamp about saving wolves, you're likely to see a butthurt crybaby going like "FUK WULFS LEZ SAYV DIS ANIML U SUK U ONLEE LYK WULFS DDXX"

I love wolves but I agree.
Also bats are very misunderstood.

I love all the creatures seen on this stamp! They all are awesome animals that deserve way more respect!Β
Especially bugs, in my school a lot of wasps and maybe a few spiders have gotten killed because they are "disgusting/icky and have no reason to exist!" And I always say not to kill the poor insects/arachnids but they get squished anyways ;-;

Yes they are

I can't stress this enough. The amount of times people have reacted with such little care when I tell 'em shark, snake and arachnid species are endangered is disgusting.

Yeah. They all are misunderstood.
Also, one word: bats.

I have two pet rats and they are the sweetest pets in the world. Now I think that people who hate rats and say I'm going to get the plague are sick idiots sitting and playing Call of Duty 6 or whatever came out on a couch all day while forgetting to do their 3rd grade homework.
All I've said today is hate speech. I need to do something to me. NOW.

I feel so sorry for spiders, mice, rats, snakes, and other animals that get shunned because they're 'SO GROSS! EW!!!11!!one!!'
I feel those animals are so much more interesting than wolves.

aaa ;v; I feel bad because I kill spiders. I think they're cool, but I have a phobia of them. Same with most bugs. The strange thing is that Bug types are my favorite Pokemon, moths are the coolest thing to me, etc. I really need to work on getting over that phobia, though.

Same, I really think spiders are badass, but I'm really afraid of them.

I had taken in a mouse the other day. My cat had tried to attack it but failed to hurt it, (my cat Iis a softie,) so the mouse was stunned because of it. It was just laying there struggling to breathe as it was so shocked from the near death experience. So, much to my mother's disgust, I took the little mammal inside and gave it all the necessary needs, such as food, a quiet place to calm down etc. And released it once it was better. It wasn't evil or viscous at all, even when it had recovered. It was just the adorable little mouse that needed help. I even gave the fuzzy thing a name, miniature-mousey-moo. Don't ask, I come up with some weird names.
I applaud you, my dear, for making this stamp.

I LOVE mice and rats! Those other animals are cool, too! I agree with this stamp!

Agreed! I had rats! They were the most adoreble pets I ever had!

I TOTALLY agree with this stamp... but one thing you written up isn't totally true. There are actually Wolf Hate groups on this world and one of they leader said he purposely run over two young wolves that he meets on the road while he was on his car. I also think he send some pictures of it.
And before you tell me there is 100% chanches that he was trolling... here more information about theses groupsΒ kimorox.deviantart.com/art/Agaβ¦
Not saying the animals you listed aren't more misunderstood than wolves, but that thereΒ areΒ a few people who misunderstand wolves more.

I agree full-heartedly. I like wolves, sure, but...
I have a pet boa constrictor and she's dog-tame and super cute.
I'm getting a pet tarantula this year, and I tell people to leave spiders alone that they find.
Once I move out I'm going to start adopting retired lab rats. Rats are FANTASTIC animals but few acknowledge it.
Sharks are amazing.

I pretty much either think an animal is cute/cool or have respect for it. I find lizards adorable and sharks cool (although I would prefer to think of that from a distance) and although I am afraid of spiders I will never kill one if they are outside. I went camping this year and there was a wolf spider with an egg sack and while everyone else I was with wanted to kill it I was the only one who was telling everyone to just leave it alone. Donβt get me wrong I was nervous and twitchy because I kept getting the feeling that a spider was crawling on my back but I canβt just stomp around its home and kill it. But if that spider was in my house and stomping around my home then no mercy (as long as itβs small enough, too big and then I just freeze up). Then thereβs bees, I find bumblebees SO CUTE! Theyβre like little balls of poofyness! And although I freak out when a bee is flying around me I still respect what it does and just find a place to hide so I donβt get stung. I also find fancy rats both cute and cool and I would get one but I have four cats that would give the poor thing a heart attack and if I got a rabbit or something my Alaskan malamute would want to eat it. I had a leopard gecko named Gordan but I think I got him when he was sick, so Iβm not sure whether or not his death was my fault or notβ¦ So Iβm contemplating getting another.

Sharks are on the top of the top list because of the movie Jaws.
I actually have no problem with sharks. Some are actually quite cute :3

I may not like spiders I'm sometimes scared of them. But seriously? We have pet rats,rats are very smart creatures, Sharks are not bad. Why?
They need to eat food like us humans if they smell blood they think its a seal,Plus they eat fish to and lizards poor things people say there
smiling and gross, seriously? It's a lizard! Lizard are very interesting in my thoughts.Β

My brother got a pet rat yesterday, and my mom is making him get rid of it.
I tried to explain to her that PET rats are cute, intelligent, and social, and are nothing like the disease-ridden baby-eating sewer rats. Will she listen to me? No. She just said "I'm the mom."
π: 0 β©: 1
I try to explain to my mum that pet rats are nice and nothing like sewer rats too, but she is the type who thinks all rats are diseased. She was like "Eewww who wants a rat as a pet?" She did however say that when I get my own house, I can have whatever pet I want.
Rats eat babies? When did a rat eat a baby?
π: 0 β©: 1
I remember when I was younger my mom said she heard about some rats eating a baby's face.
Now, I'm not sure if that's true or not.

I see newspaper articles on how rats are evil, diseased monsters, but not all rats are like that.
π: 0 β©: 0
Rats are very smart and can make great companions, I also think they are cute.
Spiders and Scorpions are very fascinating creatures, a spider can make a work of art with their webs and some of them are very pretty I also find scorpions pretty especially when they glow under a blacklight. I once kept two scorpions because the poor things had the ends of their tails cut off.
Snakes are a deadly beauty and people forget not all are poisonous, they are also not slimey.
Bacteria can be an enemy however it can also be helpful, humans have many types of helpful bacteria in our bodies. Many that can help us stay healthy.
Sharks are just amazing, they come in so many varieties and specialize in different types of hunting.Β
In short I agree very much with this stamp, many of these animals, and bacteria do not get credit where credit is due.

I feel like the only person who is not scared of spiders. I feel bad for the guys.
I love wolves, but rats are awesome too.
Why would anyone run over a snake?
π: 0 β©: 1
To religious people, snakes are sometimes associated with the devil, so they immediately go against it.
Also, snakes are seen as killers because of how they lash out if someone gets to close to them. Most people think of it as a sign of aggression.
Almost everyone forgets that they give us some of our daily cures or medicines from their venom.

I know what you mean. My mom HATES snakes. She says that she was almost bit by three different snakes in three separate occasions in her childhood. They were: A copperhead, a rattlesnake, and a black racer. Copperheads and rattlesnakes are both venomous (especially to children), and black racers, while not venomous, can (read: CAN - means it's possible, not certain) carry diseases that can be transmitted to pets and humans (again, children are at the greatest risk). From her stories, I assume the rattlesnake was the most traumatizing, since she wound up face-to-face with it, all while it rattled it's tail and hissed at her. Considering she was still a little girl, it's not too far-fetched to assume that it screwed with her BIG TIME.
Also, she's a Christian, which doesn't help matters AT ALL....

So all religious people are like that? :/ My friend Shawndi LOVES snakes and she is probably and Chirstan or Catholic.Β

I can name a few religious-nuts who would throw sharp, metal crosses at snakes like they were ninja-stars. Your friend must be one of the few who aren't psycho~!

"One of the few?" :I Most Christians I know are respectful to snakes and other such creatures. You're talking about a very radical minority.
π: 0 β©: 1
I seem to run into all the weirdΒ Christians then.
It doesn't help that I live in a place surrounded by churches, but...
Yeah, I guess crazy Christians are the minority.
π: 0 β©: 1
Living in "snowbird central", I'm also embedded in churches, and attend them. Most of us are aware that even the scariest of creatures are still important to the earth and were designed meticulously by God. You'd be surprised how many snake handlers are Christians. :] We Christians are normal people. Maybe a little quirky and against the grain, but the so-called "crazy" ones are not the norm (we don't even call those people Christians). Please reconsider lumping most of us in one category next time.
