The writer of the article suggests that the author Jack London is purposely misquoting what President Roosevelt said about his book White Fang. London states that in the book, a wolf-dog kills a lynx, while Roosevelt was criticizing the idea that the lynx killed the wolf-dog. However, London omits that later in White Fang, the leader of the dog pack is torn to shreds by a lynx.
