Not me, the sheep are too damn stupid except to be led to a slaughter.
Remember Clarice, tried to let the spring lambs free and what did they do?
Huddled in the corner and screamed.
You are right that there is a majority of violence going on in the home and its a shame, but rarely are there not warning signs.
The sheeple need to see the warning signs, I cant tell you the number of times I have been in a situation that I got out of just based on being able to see the signs.
By the way, in North America,(I dont know about Canada) the Timberwolf is making a major comeback. (Not to toot my own horn but, thanks to people like me) I would have to check but I do believe that they were taken off the endangered list and possibly the threatened list.

who wants to be a shepherd ... well to some extent you and me .. and anyone else with kids .. thats our sphere of influence ..
they are the major means for us to make a difference.
There are other subtler ways .. by being a strong good person that might influence others in a small way ...
the challenge is that while i'm trying to bring up my kid right, there are 500,000 other people in my city alone who are incapable and/or dont give a shit. One of their kids may some day point a gun at my kid because they didnt like the way he looked at him.
I think your analogy of a wolf/superior individual is more suited for the shepherd anyway ... if you're sure you have what it takes, then its better to be a leader than a loner.
As much as i think the world is filled with stupid uncaring dangerous people - i still meet a few from time to time that make the ride worth it.
i have a shitpile of movies to watch, a house full of music to listen to and books to read .. and a family i want to see grow up ..
I have countries i want to visit, oceans i want to scuba dive in, a lot of shit i want to do,
It wouldnt serve me to quit on the world yet ..
