So that is why, I am going to talk about wolfs today. Did you know there are 200,000 wolfs in the world? They are decreasing in numbers, because people are killing them. People think that wolves are bad animals. The thing about wolves is that they only attacks if you are in their land. We need to stop killing wolfs, because they attack us, it is not there fault. This is really sad that we are losing most of the wolfs. If we could stop people from killing them that would be great. Wolfs are going endangered because people are killing them that is why I am talking about them for their future. The wolf's behaved is good it is bad if you get on their bad side. It's good if you stay away from them. The reason wolfs attack us is because they are trying to keep their pups safe. That is also why they mark their territories. The alfalfa male will die to save their pack and the pack's pups. The alfalfa male will also kill the young if he does not approve of them. But if he does like them he gives them a kiss to show that they can stay. He will also make them be a lone …show more content…

Wolves know the animals that live here, and wolfs now how to hunt them. To hunt large prey, the wolves must work together. The first step is finding prey. Wolves rely on their sense of smell to find prey. all a wolf's sharp senses, its sense of smell may be the strongest. It's estimated to be up to 100 times more sensitive than a human's.

  • Deer Overpopulation and Some Proposed Solutions

    1340 Words  | 3 Pages

    ...I think that repopulating wolves in an area where they might have to deal with people is kind of a feeble-witted idea. Wolves are not an animal with a great reputation, even though they might not deserve that reputation most people do not like. I think that people as a whole would probably rather have deer in their back yard rather than wolves. Therefore, the questions what can happen, what should happen, and what will happen, with the deer problem all three have different answers. These answers will differ due to the area that the deer are in and the peoples' feeling towards these deer. It is too bad that there is not one perfect solution to the deer problem. Maybe in the future there will be, but until then we will have to deal with each problem that comes up individually.

  • The Necessity of Legalizing Wolf Hunting in Wisconsin

    1302 Words  | 3 Pages

    When the reintroduction of wolves began in the state of Wisconsin, a goal of 350 wolves was set, and this number was reached successfully in a short amount of time. Once this was reached, however, the population continued to rise dramatically and exponentially, and is now in the upper 600s (Allen). The problems now come down to a few simple questions that have complex answers. Will a regulated hunt get out of control, and a repeat of the past begins? Are the wolves posing any sort of threat in the present? Who or what would a hunt benefit? First, the issue of the past must be addressed. Back in the earlier years of the United States, wolves roamed free, and when farmers moved their livestock into what was then the wolves' territo...

  • Reintroduction and extirpation of the Gray wolf

    1083 Words  | 3 Pages

    The history behind the extirpation of the grey wolf in the United States dates back to the very first European settlers that colonized eastern North America in the late 16th century. The killing of gray wolves was done primarily out of fear in an attempt to protect livestock, and, in some cases, to protect human life within the colonies. As more settlers expanded West, the practice of killing wolves was considerably increased to protect livestock that included cows, pigs, and chickens. As waves of European settlers expanded westward, they began to deplete the deer, moose, and elk populations. The gray wolves food source continual depletion gave rise to wolf populations actively targeting the settler’s livestock, causing great financial loss. The fiscal loss of livestock became such an issue to wealthy ranchers and settlers that they began to offer cash rewards for wolf pelts. This practice gave birth to a lucrative cottage industry of professional hunters and trappers. As the wolves began to move further West, and into Wyoming, they began to diminish the elk and moose population. To respond to this threat, Congress approved funding in 1914, to eliminate the native gray wolves from

    Let me tell you something. In 1970, Gray Wolves used to have a population of 250,000. But now due to mass wolf hunting, the numbers are down to 500. Hello everyone. Today, I’d like to speak on behalf of the Wolf Conservation Center about the importance of wolves, and why they should be protected.

The society of wolves is just like ours, sorted by ranks, defined by confidence, and full of emotions. We are more like them than we think. Except they are being hunted, and we are not. In many parts of where they range, all types of wolves are being persecuted for killing livestock. As a result, humans have been killing wolves for years, because of us, their numbers are decreasing by thousands.
