I don't see anything in what you quoted about how the farmer should be ashamed to feel that way. I didn't read it that way at all.

- sillysaurusx 4y agoYeah. It’s always interesting to see how people fill in the blanks.
- vehementi 4y agoIt's because the person went out of their way to say that the bad reputation is because of the farmers' feelings, rather than just the fact that wolves kill the livestock. Compare: > He went to jail for hitting her > He went to jail because she didn't like that he hit her This makes it sound like she would or should sometimes like to be hit, rather than being straightforwardly the victim of a crime, or straightforwardly because the person committed a crime
- AlbertCory 4y agoYou don't? How about "I think they got a bad reputation because farmers really don’t like it when they kill off their livestock." so, "bad reputation" is unfortunate, X caused it, but it's unwarranted to read that as "X is unfortunate"? It seems like a reasonable inference.
