In contrast, the wolf is gone absolutely Catalan lands. Recent squads endured some Pyrenean valleys

1989: The latest observations of wolf, Canis lupus, in the region (Martí Boada).
T his special ferocity wolf might be the best example of a mature searchterms landscape and wild fauna and its disappearance would be tied together with the loss of this quality. In fact his disappearance means the definitive searchterms control of man (!) In the hegemony of a landscape. You could say that man feels dominating a landscape that has annihilated when the beasts. In the fauna of our country who holds the only vertebrates that category were the brown bear and the wolf. The first disappeared from our region before the appearance of the work of Pedro Gil. * (1) The author cites the presence of the bear in Montseny mountain landscapes searchterms and remote Montnegre.
Interestingly the species persists searchterms today since vestigialment Catalan searchterms Pyrenean lands in a number not exceeding searchterms ten copies among the population and Aran mountains of French Catalonia.
In contrast, the wolf is gone absolutely Catalan lands. Recent squads endured some Pyrenean valleys to the thirties and at the same time they appear searchterms in the latest quotes Ports de Tortosa (- Beceem). However this species persisted searchterms until relatively recent times. The last written quotation appears in the Yearbook of the Catalan Association of Scientific Excursions in 1879.
Anthony Masso intitolat in an article "A winter searchterms trip to Montseny," documents how to reach the hill of Man are a farmer of the population Montseny searchterms stopping the ridge in a raid to capture a squad of wolves, which took away a few days before, a child of that town.
But in a conversation I argued in 1979 with an old shepherd from the mountain, Josep Orra ("Grandpa Can Plan" Fogars Montclús) assured me that the child had heard her family's misdeed of a wolf in sheep. According to these statements, the presence of the wolf Montseny, would be to stripe the turn of this century. Since his memory lives on in the old toponymy: the source of the Wolf and Wolves searchterms bump in Fogars Montclús, and subjected to the Llobateres searchterms Rails.
* Salvador Llobet (2) makes several citations, in the eighteenth century, says the wolf lives near the towns of San Centelles searchterms Quirze Safaja. In the nineteenth century, there were several victims to wolf attack near Can Planes between Figaro and La Garriga. The Medical Journal communicated Vilamajor in Barcelona in 1825, eight people were killed and several injured by wolf attacks in the towns of St. Stephen and St. Mary Palautordera Santa Susan, Montseny Campins. Later in the same media ana other doctor says six adult wolves have been killed and twenty-two puppies.
Oral tradition has since the case of a flaviolaire all returning from a festival in the valley gorge, when crossed Calm was embestit by several wolves, and he could not hold on stop blowing flaviol, why which says that it was attacked.
Indeed, searchterms when leaving the wolf in our region, searchterms s'en was a very important fraction of the ferocity and salvatgesa * (3) of the landscape. Today we are left with a more domesticated region say that the size of the man, we need a deep reflection towards the latter assertion.

I just returned from Pardines and spend some nights talking about wolves and bears before going to sleep. I'm not begrudge the man mountain who keep contact. The fight with the wolf was not only cruel to the demise of our region, searchterms but because it has been a struggle with our own fears. We have to overcome this fear wolves killed early that keep the soul and feel larger. Now, however, searchterms the fear is kept alive and keep it forever, and since we do not have the wolves headed for other targets. The devil lurks within us, and we are not even aware we looking for it in other human beings
