What is so bad about wolves ?

[evergreen]

Did you know there have been only 1 wolf attack in the past 3 years and none of the people died. The hinter was going to shoot the mother's pups.

What is your source??? I don't know any hunters that would go into a wolf den to shoot pups for the heck of it. Also I don't know how many attacks there have been but there have been plenty of people found dead due to animal attack over the years and wolves were suspected but there is no way to PROVE it was wolves because the bodies have been picked at by scavangers. There was a case I read about in Canadian geographic where wolves dragged a kid out of a tent durring a camping trip. The kid didn't die but he was still attacked.

I love wolves, I think they are beautiful but they are PREDATORS, not fluffly little cuddle bugs. They are to be left alone like any other wild animal.

They kill livestock. Livestock is food. People like to eat.
There you go.

There is only one species of wolf. :]

actually there is many species.
You obviously don't know much about wolves if you don't know that. I do not see how you can call yourself a wolf lover if you know nothing about them...

thats was a bit rude
and I appologize for that miscommunication i was pretty sure I heard that somewhere. i do know alot about them, but there was some confusion there.

on a lighter note, I know someone who runs an organization called 'Wolf Warriors' who got to speak on the radio about wolves. It was nice to hear good things about them and for people to not only realize they are good creatures; but also can sometimes hurt people.

Maned wolves are not true wolves. that would be like saying a sheep is a goat almost.

[Harpalyce]

Wolves are just fine, rather like any other wild animals.

Wolf fanatics that think they should be protected at the expense of other endangered species, on the other hand...

I have no problem with wolves. To me, they're just another interesting creature on a planet full of billions of other intresting creatures.

I have a problem with people who think wolves are the best thing ever, who think that hunters and farmers deserve to be killed 'becuz dey hurt teh bootiful wolfs'.

Wolves are beautiful and intelligent and ect.
However, they CAN kill people. They HAVE killed people. I'm not trying to "big bad wolf"-ify them all, deer can and have killed people also.

People don't have a problem with wolves, people have a problem with the rabid, ignorant wolf fans who equalliate a life of a human to that of a canine.
People kill wolves with a set of regulations and such. Their's a certian amount you're allowed to kill and <i>a vast majority of hunters don't get that many</i>. They're killed as humanely as possible and doing so helps regulate the population. It's much less cruel than them starving to death from them over-eating the elk, getting ill and being left to die, or killed by some other non-human animal. It's all for the good of the species.
