Sorry about the size. But, they were big.

Sure, Mastiff's have been bred for their size, etc. Wolves, are genetically inclined to have endurance, speed, and mobility.

A wolf at 230lbs lacks those qualities to a degree. It's like mother nature decided to use offensive lineman for wolves instead of fit, agile linebackers.

The wolf is large, but closer to 180-200lbs.

I understand and agree with you wholeheartedly however I was talking specifically about lions. Depending if they're African or Asian lion, they are either threatened or endangered species and I see NO reason to hunt one down unless it has developed a taste for humans. They never stop, once they begin, and they are killing machines indeed and they should be eliminated once such animal has been identified.

I love animals and I also do hunt. Deer, for example, is one of my favorite and we go shooting and use the meat throughout the year. But then deer is in more than ample supply all over the country and in some areas their number is so high, they need to have serious population control (like in MN). My heart broke when I saw the picture of that majestic creature, just laying down, shot, just to end up on someone's mantle.
