It’s like the allegation that Fifth Avenue buses come en masse. Except we know that Harper’s Weekly Review is absolutely factual. So…
A man was charged with stealing Jellycat plush toys in Warrington, England, and officials in India soaked stuffed animals in children’s urine to entrap man-eating wolves. Police in Rio de Janeiro carried out 16 search warrants for claw machines with stuffed toys that may have been used as a cash front for criminal gangs, and a man was convicted of smuggling more than $4,000 in cash stuffed in a teddy bear out of the Isle of Man.
I doubted none of these but was curious about India’s innovative idea for trapping man-eating wolves, for two reasons: first, wolves are not “man-eating.” That is a vile defamation and wolves should sue. Second, India has wolves?
So, using a new intelligent search engine my sister discovered, Perplexity, I checked on the wolves in India business and learned that, yes, India has wolves. Not a lot. The wolf population in India is 300; the people population of India is 1,425,775,850.
