The reintroduction brought immense controversy into the West and continues to stir outrage among anti-wolf groups. These anti-wolf supporters argue wolves are ruthless predators that cause destruction to natural environments and livestock. Conversely wolf advocates and scientists suggest that wolves are a keystone species that are essential to the natural regulation of our Western ecosystems. Although pro and anti-wolf advocates can agree that wolves have an effect on livestock, ungulate populations and ecosystems,
Howling Wolf and John Taylor both created amazing works of art. Most in particular would be The Treaty Signing at Medicine Lodge Creek. Both pieces portrayed similar content but the form and point of view was different. John Taylor was a journalist and Howling Wolf was the son of the Cheyenne Chief Eagle Head.

How would you feel to have your dog or your cat to be gone all of a sudden and him never coming back? The wolf population is rising and we should be able to hunt the wolves and be able to regulate their population.

This undermines the binary oppositions for Carter’s story. Aaron Devor states in “Gender Roles Behaviors and Attitudes”, how the females are dependent and how the males are independent and much more aggressive.

Throughout the story, Mrs. Maloney betrays multiple people after being betrayed by her own husband.
Are zombies a reflection of society 's fears and anxieties about the future? According to Ozog, many of the films and television shows we consume are "directly related to what we believe, fear, and love in our current existence" (2).

Platts describes these zombies as a "mindless walking dead" (549) that "represent fears associated with a loss of identity and the anxieties associated with
