Unfortunately, this unusual tameness was used to their disadvantage: as Darwin notes, men "frequently killed them in the evening, by holding out a piece of meat in one hand, and in the other a knife ready to stick them."

Milo on trashfuture has a bit about the falkland islands being almost made in a lab to make the brits seem not entirely evil; an island that was genuinely terra nullius. Of course they would still somehow find a way to do a genocide anyways.
The island was visited by native Patagonians who likely introduced said wolf to the islands. The Yahgan people who were renowned seafarers might also have temporarily lived on the islands. The french & spanish were there before the british. The chauvinism is off the charts.
lot of chauvinist brainworms on there between him, Nova and Hussein
I finally unsubbed after Hussein's reaction to the GHF was 'now bad countries like Russia will do genocide!'
