The wolves have been going in and out of the endangered list for years.
Sorry, just needed to say that.
In 1999, the world wolf population was estimated to be over 150,000. And since then they've just gotten better. So honestly I think there's not much of a chance that they'll go seriously endangered and in need of help again.

Does it really matter what animal we support to save? Does it really make me a terrible person for not focusing on saving wolves or a rare butterfly? I love animals, I really do, but, yes, I am partial to certain ones. I love tigers; I want to be able to take my grandkids to a zoo and show them a tiger, knowing there were more out in the wild as well. Does that make me a horrible person?
It's arguments like this that keep people from saving anything, really. Geeky, it's good that you want to focus on other animals, but must you force this on everyone? Some people like wolves, so what? You never know what may happen in the future, so saying an animal may never be endangered is just a bit ignorant. Yes, I do believe that we need to focus on the extremely endangered animals and insects, but attacking wolf lovers isn't exactly helping.
Kuro, I see your point, but, perhaps try stating your opinion a bit less like an attack. It felt like you were attacking anyone that didn't agree with you, which also doesn't help your cause. Also, it doesn't matter if it's a breed or species, if it's down to 8, then we need to help it.
Plus, like Amberleaf said, this is a kids site. They only know about wolves, not about extremely endangered animals. But, one day, they may be the people saving the butterfies or the great tortoises. And it's just because they felt they made a difference to one type of animal when they were a kid.
So, for the sake of agreeing, why don't we all agree to save all animals, no matter what they are, and no matter our reasons? Because if we all focus on one, another could slip through the cracks, and we not realize it until it's too late.
