All too true, my friend. As to why predators are good looking: wouldn't 
YOU like it if a stupid animal who thought you were "cute" came right up 
to you, practically into your jaws (ie that stupid woman in Alaska who 
jumped the fences around a polar bear's cage to get closer for a better 
picture of the "polar bear that looked SO cute when it was asleep..."). 
It's yet another tool they employ to catch their pray. And wolves, as well 
as most other predators, ARE "harmless cute." They will only attack humans 
if the humans attack them first. We stupid humans think that WE own the 
world, but the animals don't see it that way, and if we invade their 
territory they respond the same way that, for instance, the US would 
respond to an invasion from Canada: they attack back. (that was TOTALLY 
hypothetical, so don't get on a thread about how that'll never happen, 
please).
