It argues that the attempts made by People's Poland to completely eradicate wolves in the 1950s had their roots in the Second Polish Republic and that the anti-wolf action was as symbolic as it was practical. The symbolism of the anti-wolf policies was related to Poland's understanding of modernity at different stages of the country's existence. The practicality of the anti-wolf policies was based on political and economic considerations where wolves were either used as pawns to win one social group against another or the destruction of wolves was ordered to prevent economic losses. Surveying the anti-wolf policies developed by the two different political regimes over the span of half a century offers a starting point to study the relationship between humans and wild animals in Poland. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Polish Review is the property of University of Illinois Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
