I’ve never heard of Larkspur – although I am sure I must have seen it. Looks like a beautiful plant – shame about it’s detrimental effect on livestock.

Strangely enough, the first time I heard the name was as a horse… then I found out about the plant.

A little bit of everything going on here! Never thought about there being a specific name for the killing of a wolf. Saw some pass by me while on a deer stand back years ago. Hubby said, “Why didn’t you kill them?” Seriously! They were beautiful!! I was awestruck and admiring them.

Seems there are quite a few ‘icide’ words that aren’t used often. But tragic that there is one for killing such majestic creatures, whose territory we have invaded. Only seen wolves in a sanctuary in France – wild but in extensive enclosures.
