  20090617_180032 D3 X1.jpg - The pack depends on separate male and female hierarchies and the hierachy is SUBMISSION based.  Non-aggresion is emphasized, even over food, so that a Wild Dog will beg (within the pack) rather than fight.  Interestly, as noted, they will feed other pack members such as the sick or injured or very old that are unable to keep up.  Sounds more like a Blue State than a Red State!
