Probably not. I got a new haircut and went back to brunette.

This is what I replied to the person that sent this to me, I wonder what she'll say?
"What a gruesome and unrealistic story! I'm sure the farmer could have found a better way to protect his sheep than to kill innocent wolves that are just doing what their instincts tell them too. After all, they were created to be carnivores, and can't help that that's what they are. Another story to consider:
A scorpion was wandering along the bank of the river, wondering how to get to the other side. Suddenly he saw a fox. He asked the fox to take him across the river.
The fox said, “No. If I do that, you’ll sting me and I’ll drown.”
The scorpion assured him, “If I did that, we’d both drown.”
The fox thought about it and finally agreed. So the scorpion climbed up on his back and the fox began to swim. But halfway across the river, the scorpion stung him.
As the poison filled his veins, the fox turned to the scorpion and said, “Why did you do that? Now you’ll drown too.”
“I couldn’t help it,” said the scorpion. “It’s my nature.”Maybe the moral of these stories is to just be honest about what you really are and be true to yourself?"

Tired of the Hypocrisy
All the farmers I know would have shot the puppy on sight the first time he saw him and made slippers out of his hide.

There was a farmer who raised sheep and had trouble with wolves
stealing his sheep. He loved his sheep and didn't want to lose even one of
them.If we are to take this ridiculous story seriously then we have to make sure it adds up. Humans are not sheep and wolves but people who are all here on earth because Jesus created them, with the help of his dad, we are told. So the farmer is Jesus. And God so loved the world that he threw his son to the wolves that we might be saved.
So the farmer should so love the wolves as well as the sheep and give all the wolves the same chance to be saved.
At what point in the quaint little story did the farmer offer the same chance to the other wolves that he offered to the puppy before deciding to kill them?
The sheep were never wild but had always been protected by the farmer while the wolves had to kill sheep to survive. Having saved his sheep did the farmer ask them to abide with him in his mansion or slaughter them for his own Sunday roast and money at market?

*sigh* Another heartwarming, and wholly realistic illustration. How I've missed being equated with sheep.

Reminds me of that song from the 70's called, "Tender Hearted Woman". Anyone remember that?
On the way to work one morning Down the path along side the lake A tender-hearted woman saw A poor half-frozed snake His pretty colored skin Had been all frosted with the dew "Oh, well," she cried, "I'll take you in and I'll take care of you!"
Anyway, she gives him a blanket and some warm milk, lays him by the fire to thaw out, then goes to work. Later, she rushes home to find the snake had revived but when she picked him up and hugged him, he bit her:
"Oh, hey, now," said the woman, "You bit me even while You knew your bite is poisonous And now, I'm gonna die!" "Aw, shut up, silly woman," Said that reptile with a grin "You knew very well I was a snake Before you brought me in!"
My point? A wolf is a wolf... and a sheep is a sheep. And my Lord knows his sheep... and his sheep know him. He didn't say anything about knowing wolves, such that he would have a tender heart for one of them. He did say that the wolves "snatch and scatter" the sheep. He also told us to beware of wolves...
Lordy, I HATE it when they do this: make up false stuff in order to instill fear in their followers. It's unkind and unloving. Wicked and evil... under the guise of being loving and concerned. "You'd better stick with us... cause God/Christ might not recognize you." The TRUTH is, however, that my Lord WOULD recognize a wolf... even if it were wearing "sheep's clothing" (which is what the contriver of this false parable is).
Even if it didn't LOOK like a wolf... it would smell like one.
I bid you all peace.
A slave of Christ,

Classic emotional BLACKMAIL and MANIPULATION.This story directly CONTRADICTS the account of the PRODIGAL SON who came back looking pretty roughed up too.Here this wolf was pleading for help and the dumbass farmer just shot him !
The WT has created God in THEIR IMAGE.He did what they want to see done to ALL who leave.These are clear Scare tactics to try to prevent others from leaving.Do the scriptures not say that "God knows who belong to Him" ?
The story they really should be telling is that the Farmer (The Society) PROTECTS and ALLOWS pedophiles in sheeps clothing to FREELY roam among the sheep and devour their little lambs.All sheep who try to send out a warning to their fellow sheep are BOUND, GAGGED and eventually SLAUGHTERED.
Even as a Witness I absolutely hated the stupid, close-minded illustrations they would use.
