Edit (11/18/2014)
Two years, a hundred faves and many enraged humanaboos later, this stamp is still going strong. I mean wow, it's in only one group, and I don't think it's my best stamp by far, but it still has a hundred faves. I'm not even that big of a wolf fan, I just made this stamp to jump on the wolfaboo/anti-wolfaboo drama bandwagon that still rages to this day
and to make people think and question whether a person really does hate something, or if they're just hating on the thing to piss other people off. And apparently, wolfaboos DO exist...they are people who love wolves so much that it's at the expense of other animals, humanity included. And I actually do think that is pretty stupid, since there are so many more animals to appreciate than just wolves.You can't like just wolves and nothing else. In a corrupt world, where the strong prey on the weak, and a faceless cabal of sadistic, Machiavellian nihilists operates coldly on detached logic and preaches a crooked gospel of nihilism, human supremacy, social Darwinism, absolute skepticism, slander, hypocrisy, ridicule and "othering" of targeted groups, the downtrodden must stand strong and present a unified, mature image in the face of an injustice. "They" govern what can and cannot be said under threat of blackmail, persecution and systematic identity-destruction, so remember, you are only the bigger man if you don't make an insufferable fool of yourself...because when you do, "They" have already won.
Nationalistic monologue aside, so far I've gotten faves from devoted wolf fans, sane wolf fans, animal fans in general, moderate human fans who also care about animals, etc...a whole host of interesting people faving this stamp. Keep being awesome, dA
Original Description
Okay, I think I've found something even stupider than hating on "rabid" bronies, furries, weeaboos etc...at least those ones almost made sense given the fucked-up things some members of those three aforementioned fandoms do, but apparently now liking wolves is something worthy of being cyberbullied over!
It seems like nowadays anti-wolf stamps and hate art mocking people for drawing "speshul sparkledogs" almost outnumbers the decent, artful, positive drawings of wolves and wolf furries on this site. The whole thing reeks of the same old "let's hate on X because X is popular, and by hating X we are the new 'in' crowd, above all those dumb fans!" mentality, it's immature, embarrassing and really makes me think this site has gone steadily downhill since the start of this decade.
Me? I like wolves, not as much as many people on this site do, but they are 2nd place on my list of favorite animals, with cats being the first on the list. I may be a sane wolf lover, but I still hate seeing how barbaric and petty people are acting over this whole "wolfaboo" thing.
Finally, as for wolfaboos wishing they were animals instead of humans, as a misanthrope I can't say that's too unreasonable a fantasy. Especially when humans are the ones responsible for fucking up our environment in the first place, and killing each other over religion, politics, money, etc. I see stamps basically glorifying humans killing animals, or saying humans are "better" than animals, just as a drama-generating measure designed to offend wolfaboos, furries, otherkin, etc. and generate more butthurt and lulz, and it makes me lose even more faith in humanity.
Sorry for my tl;dr rant here, I just felt like saying this. That is all.

"as a misanthrope"
go kill yourself then, if you hate humans.
And you forget what a fucking wolfaboo is. A wolfaboo is the "KAWAIIDESUWOLVEZRGAWDSEVERY1WURSHIPDEM" or the "FUCK YOU YOU DON'T WORSHIP WOLVES".

Actually, I'd like to know why you haven't killed yourself, as misanthropes hate humans. You're a human and not some robot programmed to say "wolfaboos don't exist".

Actually, not all misanthropes hate themselves. Some, like myself, hate humanity as a whole, but believe certain individuals (for me, it's mostly my friends and family) have surpassed humanity's degenerate tendencies and become something more. Maybe misanthrope is the wrong word, I am a "hopeful" misanthrope. I believe humanity is something that must be surpassed and overcome. Because as I see it, blind love for the human condition, embracing the belief that we are all filthy apes and nothing more, with no need for honor, morals or belief in a higher power, is in many cases the root cause for the worst of humanity's behavior: disrespect, vulgarity, corruption, lewdness, smut, bullying, predatory behavior, treating animals and the planet as nothing but an expendable resource, arrogance, picking on those who are different, trolling, abuse, and the root cause, that great evil: Nihilism, the absence of morals. In such an absence the strong freely prey upon the weak...we see it happen on the internet every day. And sure, the Abrahamic religions (especially Christianity and Islam) are equally guilty of abuse and evil, but the evil committed by them is the opposite sort...they, like myself, oppose humanity's corrupt tendencies, but they do so in the name of spreading fear of their corrupt god. For that reason they are the Enemy too.
So yeah, the reason I don't kill myself is because I believe I am more than your average ape. Anyone who dares to think for themselves is more than that. I don't believe humans evolved from apes, nor do I believe they are even primates, and I believe everything in this beautiful universe was formed with a higher purpose...I mean think about it, there is no way in hell all this could be a complete coincidence. I believe humanity's origin was of the stars (we only evolved to how we currently are on this Earth in the past couple million years,) forged by luminous beings born directly from the gods, who granted us with a gift. Over the past few thousand years this gift has gone dormant in modern humans, due to the founding of the Abrahamic religions that instilled fear of eternal damnation in the hearts of those who used the gift (forcing them to bow down to the great oppressor, Yahweh,) and after that, the absence of all religion that turned modern humanity into the bitter, snarky, predatory, amoral nihilists we know today, and the invention of the internet has hammered the final nail in the coffin of the inherent goodness of humanity. And that's why I'm a hopeful misanthrope. You will probably tell me my beliefs are ridiculous or bullshit or whatnot, and that I need to give them up, but I honestly don't care. I was honest with you, and if you put down my beliefs, I will simply ignore your response.

I especially love it when these fools throw a [huge] fucking fit over a human wishing to be an animal. They treat that person like they are criminally insane.

I have [witnessed] various users posting all sorts of crap promoting wolf taxidermy, hunting, exploitation, elimination, extinction, etc. all out of pure rage for what a fanbase has done. On the internet.
Read the argument that this stamp makes.
You will thank me later.

I can understand how people can start disliking something for being popular, because I do that ( I can't give a good answer why, I just do). But hate art, clubs, etc. is just low.
And the descriptions of these "hate arts" tell you liking wolves is wrong. It's not like loving wolves is wrong in any sense. Though all the people who think they'll actually get accepted by a wolf pack are all thinking way too far fetched.
If you dislike/hate something, that's fine, if you greatly love something, that's fine. If you try forcing others to dislike/love something, then there's a problem.

Sure, people like, even love wolves. I do myself. However, putting a wolf's life above a human's and wishing death upon all humans and threatening taxidermists and acting like 10-15 year olds(most "wolfaboos" are that age.) by bullying people FIRST is not okay. I'm perfectly okay when someone doesn't like what I do, just not when they go out of their way to insult me where ever they can. Everyone thinks it's wolf lovers vs wolf haters. It's not. It's wolfaboos vs animal lovers. Most of us care about ALL animals, not just one.
Humans are a violent, stupid species. We may have fancy technology, but we always have the art of war inside of us. Some of the species' best creations are weapons of war. In EVERY fandom, religion, race, group, and internet group there are always radicals who go and ruin it for every one of the NICE followers. That's how it is. It's hard to discriminate against something so broad as "wolf lovers", so it's narrowed down to just "wolfaboos."
We have no problem whatsoever with people who like wolves, love them, draw them, draw supposed "sparkledogs"(Hell, my fursona could be considered a sparkledog!), or even leave a rude comment or two for us. It's the ones that comment on all of our pictures, interrupt our businesses, threaten us and our families, and then sit at home and never do anything but sign a little known petition to actually help animals. When faced with things like "So you'd save a wolf, but not a deer?" they always choose the wolf, and don't seem to care for any other animal species. Wolfaboos do not use any references when they cite their answers because they have none. They will fight to the death believing that grey wolves are endangered, whereas they ignore the Mexican grey wolf completely.
That is why we have a problem with "wolfaboos."

Well said. I guess wolfaboos actually do exist. And since I'm now seeing posts from other animal lovers, not just human supremacists, my opinion of those who oppose wolfaboos is getting higher. Thank you.

No one is a wolfaboo unless they only like wolves, think wolves are more important than any other animal including humans, thinks anyone who hunts/supports/owns pelts of hunted wolves is evil, rages at people who own a wolf pelt but not a coyote pelt, etc.
So unless you completely disregard the life of any other animal besides a wolf, you're just a sane wolf lover like me.

"I think people can like whatever they want"
Tell that to the vast, vast majority of people who hold the popular opinion on the internet. They beg to differ. But then again, over 80% of the internet is filth, garbage and crap anyways. From my experience, the only consistent form of "censorship" on the internet is governing what people can and cannot like, and what complete strangers can and can't do in the privacy of their own homes, and punishing infractions with trolling, cyberbullying, lulzcapping, defamation and sometimes even life-ruining, then BAWWWing about how their "freedom of speech" is being suppressed whenever someone is smart enough to stand up to them and their unfair ways. No, we're not trying to "censor" anyone, we are not fascists, we just don't take too kindly to self-righteous trolls who think anyone who disagrees with their bogus "unwritten rules" of the internet that they themselves defined should be treated like Chris-Chan. If anything, THEY are the ones practicing a form of censorship of unpopular opinions...more often than not, I see people on this site with their tail between their legs, afraid to voice an opinion they know is unpopular, for fear of having the "butthurt" label stamped on their foreheads as a free pass to be ridiculed, put down and discredited. That's why I see disabled comments on things like pro-wolf stamps, stamps defending furries/bronies/cloppers/etc, stamps speaking out against the unfairness of troll culture, and even (God forbid) stamps defending animals, and saying humans aren't so goddamn special. What is this world coming to, and when will it end?

No. A 'wolfaboo' is somebody who hates on others for not liking wolves, thinks wolves are the only important creature, or hates on people who support wolf hunting/pelts, but ONLY wolves and dont care about other animals.
It's very much real.

Still, humanaboos are far more common, and to be completely honest, saying you love humans more than animals just to offend animal-lovers is no better. In fact, it's worse.

Um.. When.. did I say anything about that? Like.. really. I prefer animals over people, I hate humanity lol, but I still hate wolfaboos too. And it's not cool to be spreading false information.

You didn't. And the fact that you are a misanthrope, and prefer animals to people, makes you quite different from the vast majority of anti-wolfaboo people I have seen. I am sorry for prejudging, but about 85-90% of all anti-wolfaboo people have seen don't just hate wolfaboos and wolves, they also hate most to all other animals too, blindly love humans and say how "only humans" can be this or do that, how humans are better than animals, how animals are a "resource" solely for humans to exploit, etc. all seemingly to piss off and offend those who care about animals. It is incredibly immature, and I am sorry I lumped you in with them. But I guess that's what happens when virtually all the anti-wolfaboo people I've seen have been outspoken human-supremacist internet troll asshats.
But as for the wolfaboo thing, I'd honestly like to see some genuine, hard evidence that wolfaboos exist before I change my views. In other words, real evidence or it didn't happen. Because it's incredibly shaky when I see people bitch about wolfaboos, then never bother to show or expose the offending wolfaboo's comments. Until that changes, I will stay skeptical. That is all.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I'm sorry, but that 85-90% you say they are? It's actually about 5-15% of the people who hate wolfaboos. Same as racist people or sexist people.
I've never met someone who hates "all other animals too, blindly love humans and say how "only humans" can be this or do that, how humans are better than animals, how animals are a "resource" solely for humans to exploit, etc." to quote your own words.

Nah, I hate wolfaboos, but they're only defined as the super 'omg only wolves matter how dare you dislike them in the least' people to me. I myself love wolves, though they're not my favorite animal. The crazy people just annoy the living jesus out of me.
While I cannot provide you with hard evidence because I have not run into any lately, I can tell you that the group Anti-Wolf keeps good track of them xD also, their definition of a wolfaboo was much better explained than mine:
Q: What is a wolfaboo?
A: A person who recklessly advocates for the lives of wolves at the cost of human life and livelihoods, and the ecosystem at large, often harassing and employing threats of violence or death against anyone they perceive as "anti-wolf" (e.g., hunters, wildlife conservationists, taxidermists, furriers), as well as deliberately perpetuating false information about wolves in order to further their radically "pro-wolf" agenda. Not to be confused with wolf fans, who merely harbor a modest interest for the animal or enjoy drawing them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Understandable, and thanks for the pointers on where to find real evidence, but the fact that the source you just gave me is an anti-group is setting off red flags for me all over again. Yes, they probably do have actual evidence, but it probably comes with a ton of bias, hatred, arrogance and other blatant trollfaggotry. And that brings me to another question: If wolfaboos are supposed to so bad and wrong and terrible, then how did they get that way to begin with? Were they that way all along, or did someone else provoke them? Given the nature of the internet, I am pretty sure wolfaboos got that way because of some fucktard thinking he or she was clever by generating causing drama or lulz or whatnot at the expense of innocent people. Yes, extreme wolfaboos are probably almost as bad as the haters, but given the fact that victim-blaming, preying on the weak and bullying and alienating anyone with an unpopular opinion are all considered to be normal or even desirable behavior in this wonderfully-enlightened digital age of tolerance, acceptance and free-flowing knowledge and information at our fingertips, I can't help but personally believe the haters are the ones in the wrong. But that's just me, you are free to disagree.

Anti-Wolf used to directly post screenshots of stupid wolfaboos. And despite what you think, Anti-Wolf, regardless of the name, was meant to be a mature group. In fact, they don't tolerate trolling.
Wolfaboos are not made. Not normally. I used to be one, I can tell you with certainty. They're born from ignorance and immaturity.

I completely agree, people making a big deal out of nothing. I though love wolves, have for at least four years, and newsflash, it was before this nonsense even started I bet. I have done my research specifically on gray wolves, and I do want to work with them in the future such as in zoos or sanctuaries. Doesn't mean I don't love other animals, I always have, without them there's nothing of me really. Then again all of this started up, and when people do get upset over wolf killings automatically the term "wolfaboo" comes up, just complete nonsense. They don't believe there are people against deer hunting for a matter of fact? Or any of that in general? Of course someone will be upset seeing their favorite animals being killed, it makes sense to me for that to be the case.

Wouldn't matter a bit if you did that. Most of Anti-Wolf is people who don't care what you say about them. ie. Troll them back and they just laugh at your effort.
P.S. Anti-Wolf says right on their group page that they are not against the animal. They are against wolfaboos.

As much as I'd love to do that, that would just feed the trolls. Unfortunately even though people like you and me are the real "sane" fans, most of the internet (or at least most of deviantART) considers us rabid fans just for making stamps like this one, and claims the only "sane" fans are the ones who only kind of like wolves, but hate them at the same time for being "overrated" or "not the best animals in the world," and most of all, side with the anti-wolf trolls in bullying the "rabid" fans. I mostly notice this incredibly aggravating trend within the wolf fandom and the MLP fandom (I am more of a brony than a wolf fan, to be honest, so I see it in both places,) but it also shows up among fans of anime and other things. Honestly, since when does being a "sane fan" require you to both love and hate something at the same time, and bully anyone who likes that thing "too much." That doesn't sound fun at all!
My friend said long ago that a REAL sane fan doesn't care at all what other fans do in the privacy of their own rooms, and that by getting into other fans' business like that and giving them a hard time, then they are no better than the "insane" or "rabid" fans, and if anything, they are exposing themselves to be a different kind of rabid fan. Even though he was referring to the MLP fandom, I believe the gist of what he said can also be applied to any other fandom, including wolves.

Okay, you are aware "wolfaboos" most likely don't even exist in the first place, right? Just a lie made up by dumbass trolls. Don't kid yourself...have you ever actually seen a wolfaboo, spoken with one in person, or been presented with any evidence at all for their existence aside from people ambiguously complaining about the very general concept of "people who like wolves way too much"? Didn't think so.
I demand that you link me to some real wolfaboos before you too complain about their existence, let alone call me one. Wolves aren't even my favorite animal (that would go to cats instead, and cartoon ponies, but they aren't real 
But anyways, I dare you to link me to some real wolfaboos, because I find it incredibly ironic how those who elevate humans to a much higher status than they deserve just as an incredibly childish means to "get back at" wolfaboos, actually act far worse than the wolfaboos themselves. So yeah, evidence or GTFO. That is all.

I get hate mail and comments from wolfaboos almost daily. Vegans, petafreaks, anti hunters, anti trappers, furries, and honest to goodness animal rights activists. My blocked list is all the proof you need.
In the mean time, I'll keep living the lifestyle I choose and leave the hell alone others that choose differently.

Alright, I just looked at your page, and I can see why these "wolfaboos" are giving you hatemail: You are not only killing animals and taking pictures of them (that's called trapping, and it really isn't the worst thing you can do, as long as you have respect for the animals you hunt,) you are doing all that with a big metaphorical middle finger to anyone who disagrees with you, apparently to offend people and cause drama. Hate to be blunt here, but it looks like you are provoking the people you are complaining about, so I see no reason you should bitch about hatemail, when you are the one in the wrong. Hunting and trapping themselves are not bad, but supporting those things to piss people off is bad. Apparently you think animals are a "resource" to be exploited, and you think vegans eat babies. Real subtle. Seems to me you just like making people butthurt. Enjoy your hatemail

I know mnshortdraw. I've talked to him since he first joined here on dA. All he does is run a damn business. Seriously. Trapping is how he makes his living. When you get hate mail from people who think you skin animals alive daily, you have to adopt an attitude that allows you to not care what they say. If you have a problem with trappers(which, by the way every last hunter and trapper on the planet "exploits" animals by using their meat/fur/bones) then you can take it up with me as well, because I'M a trapper too.
I defend myself and those I am friends with. I do not provoke those antis that come onto our pages, use our pictures for facebook hate groups, threaten us and our families, flame our pages with insults, etc.

When did I say I was complaining? And when did subsistence trapping turn into "exploitation"? You doubted their existence and I called you on it. No more, no less.
I don't troll the wolfaboos, I don't give two shits what people want to do with their lives but if they start with me I give it back.
