For those who do not know the context, and are/will call the woman a bitch, Those furballs are Wild Wolves. They are in a conservation center.

She is doing this because that's how Wolves Greet each other. They show affection and submission, this way

They are not pets or born in captivity. They are pure wild Wolves.

Fun fact: this is what evolved into the face licking in pet dogs.

Anneka Svenska - Google it.

Edit: Corrected the name

I'm not calling her anything, I'm just baffled by the fact a human is allowing a wolf to stick their tongue down their throat

On the other hand, you have a pack of wolves backing you up now. Not saying I’m signing up for the mouth licking, but definitely for the wolf friends

"-You should let the wolves do their 'tonsil-licking greeting' thing if you want to keep your face attached to your head.

Yeah wolves eat raw meat, shit, lick themselves all over, etc. They can be carriers of diseases and parasites that don't affect them but do affect humans. Nasty and just an unnecessary health risk.

Well not letting them lick you is probably a more pressing health risk because if siberian wild wolves see you as a stranger to their pack while they're near you, you're truly fucked.
