      You might be right about the image, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say they’re completely unrelated.

I have edited the photo to mask out the dead body of a wolf, apparently shot by this group. Some commenters said that the unedited photo was too graphic.)

          Sure, I’ll give you that.

          I’m still sticking with the assumption of mostly shared political beliefs, though.
