    “Never Cry Wolf”, by Farley Mowat, uses a lot of anthropomorphism. We see wolves as bloodthirsty savages that prey on the weak, cause havoc, and kill just to attack or to start a fight. Quite the opposite, the wolves only kill for food or when under attack. Their actions are based on their needs. Contrary to the wolves, humans hunt for food but they also do so for pleasure.
