The following is from Masayuki Takayama's column in the latter part of the Shukan Shincho, released today.
This article also proves that he is the one and only journalist in the postwar world.
It is a must-read not only for the Japanese people but for people worldwide.

The Wolf is a Great God
The Spanish who went to the New World mistreated the local people.
Las Casas described it as "destruction," not an overstatement.　
In fact, Indio men were overworked and died with only coca leaves and not enough food.　
It was not only men.
Mothers were killed along with their children, and pregnant women were ripped open and left to die.　
But virgins were kept alive and played with as a plaything.
The destruction was precisely what the Old Testament Israelites did, as described in the Book of Numbers.　
However, the destruction of living creatures was limited to the Indians.　
In contrast, what about the Americans who came to North America?
They, too, thoroughly destroyed the indigenous peoples.　
They signed 370 treaties with the indigenous peoples.
With the Dakota, they signed a treaty that gave them meat and liquor rations in exchange for ceding their territory to the whites.　
But the rations were delayed, and the meat was rotten when they arrived.　
When the Dakota, angered by the treaty violation, rose against them, an army was sent out to suppress them, and 38 tribal leaders were lined up on a vast execution platform in Mankato, Minnesota, and hanged at once.　
They destroyed the indigenous people to the point of total destruction without any treaties with other Cheyenne or other nations.　
So far, they were like the Spanish, but the Americans destroyed everything living in the land.
The bison, numbered in the tens of millions, provided food and tepees for the indigenous people.　
They thought that if they disappeared, the indigenous people would also become extinct, so they killed them all.　
The five billion traveling pigeons would migrate south from the Great Lakes region.
People then said, "The sky went dark for days."　
But the meat was delicious, and the feathers made good bedding, so they were overhunted, and the last one died in 1914.　
Rocky wolves, of which there were thousands, were all killed when they got their hands on livestock because bison, their prey, were destroyed by humans.　
Americans also caught whales in the Pacific.
Herman Melville describes how whale oil was taken by "hanging the whale and peeling off only the subcutaneous fat part, like peeling an apple," stripping it naked and dumping it into the ocean.　
There was not the slightest consideration for the sanctity of life, including human life.　
Such Americans now talk about wildlife protection.
They have even made a big advertisement that they will restore the Rocky wolves to their original state.　
The extinction of the wolves at the top of the food chain had caused deer to devastate the forests in the Rockies, coyotes to increase, and foxes and beavers to nearly become extinct.　
So they brought in wolves from Canada, but the cattle ranchers immediately shot them.
The environmentalists paid $100,000 for the wolves.　
The environmentalists finally convinced the violent Americans by promising to compensate them for the damage done to their livestock by setting aside $100,000 in a fund.　
So dozens of wolves were released in 1995, and now there are nearly 2,000 wolves in the Mukokee area.　
Deer damage has been reduced, coyotes have disappeared, beavers have multiplied, and the natural order is being restored.　
In Switzerland last year, wolves were seen out in the wild for the first time in a century, and seven sheep were eaten.　
The government took the wolves under protection, and now 250 animals have been identified.　
Currently, they are trying to recreate the "Alps with wolves" under the condition that shooting is okay if a certain number of sheep are damaged.　
In Japan, wolves have been regarded as messengers of God to exterminate deer and wild boars that destroy fields.　
However, during the Meiji period (1868-1912), under pressure from Western Christianity, which believed that wolves were "the devil incarnate," the government actively exterminated wolves and made them extinct.　
And 100 years have passed.
Now deer, wild boars, and monkeys do as they please, destroying fields and forests and causing damage to 15.6 billion yen a year.　
The Japan Wolf Association says, "The ancient forests of Odaigahara have become a forest of white bones as the deer have killed the trees.　
Considering the extent of the damage, it would pay for itself even if we set up a relief fund like the one in the Rockies.　
And for the record, "wolves attack people" is also a Christian lie and has no basis.　
Wolves are still considered "messengers of God" in the Japanese sense of the word.
