I, stella wuz here (Stella), will dedicate myself to helping wolves have a better future. I swear to give my all in protecting these beautiful creatures, and will help in anyway I can.

Here's my take on this- Hunting wolves is actually bad for the economy. They kill elk, which mean trees grow more freely, since Cervidae eat plants, seedlings, growing trees, grass etc.- forests cannot form or grow. They keep the environment's forestry levels balanced, and if they are exterminated- also looking at woodcutters, deforestation, urbanization etc- then the environment will be unstable.

i get what you're saying, but hunting wolves =/= driving them to extinction. hunting restrictions are set up so that the population will be stable and healthy. poaching is what often drives a species to extinction, and i'm pretty sure every one here is against poaching. supporting hunting, or even hunting wolves yourself isn't the same as being anti-wolf. <:

Yes, I'm not sure on restrictions since I'm not really familiar with other Countries' customs on hunting, seeing as we don't do much hunting here in New Zealand; We only hunt Possums and other pests like them xD

I myself think killing any wolf is bad though, I'm pretty sure they'd never kill a human unless provoked or starving :p

Nah, there have been loads of cases where a lone wolf / wolf pack has found a human child and just kind of gone 'woah ok easy food they ain't got anything to threaten me with' and basically eaten us, so. Yeah.

There has never been a documented unprovoked wolf attack in the wild. There have not been "loads of cases"
I could show you my resources if you wanted, they are very trustworthy. But this was not meant to start an argument, I know a lot of you think wolves hunt people and I'm sorry I contradict that. But honestly I'm not in the mood for a debate.

Yeah I guess, although why would human children go near them xD

[arcticwolf]

^Because they think something along the lines of "D'aww what a cute giant puppy isn't that cool"
Or rather, the wolves run into them somehow.

Where are the parents?
The parents are the real reason they being killed. Why are the babies in a place that ANY wild animal could get them? Woah talk about stupid/bad parents everywhere.
