Wolves are friendly

[WOLVES RULE]

Hi wolves are friendly if you don't hunt them i've been trying to save wolves for a long time comment me back if you want to help me

i agree. But they are not freindly to humans becuse they have learned that we mean pain and death. We need to learn to respect them more!

App. 273 moose are hit by cars. 55% of these are calves. Wolves alone can kill 4 times this amount, many of them being reproducing adult cows.

I dont like wolves. I understand if their being over hunted, but they dont need saved, at least grey or arctic wolves dont >.>

have a good day

I love wolves too! We owe them a lot.....as all out pet dogs are descendants from them.

They are beautiful and good for the the local animals as they will cull out any sick, old, or injured animals as well as controlling the grazing animal population - keeping everything balanced.

Wolves are also by nature timid around humans and are very unlikely to attack a human, compared to bears and other large predators.

Their sound is haunting and beautiful to me and reminds me of the true wild - something that is fast disappearing in our world.

Sadly here in the UK all the wolves are now extinct due to people killing them. European wolves are also very rare now. Found this information on the net:

wolves were widespread in Europe during the 18th century. Wolves were exterminated from all central and northern European countries during the 19th century and the post World War II period. Remnant populations remain in Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece and Finland, though Eurasian wolves have been recovering naturally in several parts of Europe; recolonising France, Germany, Sweden and Norway. The largest populations now occur in eastern Europe, primarily in Romania, the Balkans and Poland.[6]

I think we're all gonna end up saying the same thing here. As I do love wolves, and I do agree with people here, we're just going to be ending up saying the same thing. 'Wolves are beautiful creatures', 'we need to respect them more', 'they are innocent creatures', etc etc. I do agree with those statements, yet I want to know what we're planning to do about it. I mean this NOT mean-spirited, or trying to scorn any of you, I am a fellow wolf lover. I just want to know what we're going to do to take a stand against it.

Does anyone actually have any experience with Wolves or Wolf Dog Crosses? I think a few misconceptions are happening here. Wolves aren't friendly to people because it's a Wolf. Just because they are the ancestors of most breeds of dog does not mean they are going to act like them. A wolf is a wild animal that should be treated as such. While many people view them as pests they have their place in the ecosystem just like any other species. If they were around many species would go unchecked causing herbivores to populate at a faster space than the land can handle. They would cause in turn destroy plants and land that many people could potentially use to raise livestock. While it may be easy to just call Wolves killers and use them as scapegoats for our problems the truth is that couldn't be farther from the truth. If you would like to help your local Wolf population you should refer to your local fish and game to see if there is any way you can assist them.

Yes and that is natural for them to kill them but a car hitting them is not natural. For you to say you dis like wolves for doing what is natural and acing like the unnatural way of death is better is ignorant. No ofence

P.S. love the pic! TIME FOR TICKLES!!!!!!!

Yes, it is natural, I will agree with you, and while it is our faults that the moose population is going down, the wolves aren't helping either. All I ask if you guys will discuss, leave out grey and arctic wolves (unless your talking about them being shot from a plane or whatever stupid stuff the gov. is letting people do), because not only will they kill moose they WILL go onto your property and kill your beloved dog and don't expect your dog to go into a frenzy because they go silent around wolves (unlike say a moose, lol), and all you shall find is a collar and *maybe* a carcass (a lot of people have their dogs outside where the wolves live at)
No offence taken, and however I wasn;t saying unnatural way is death, I was just saying wolves dont help moose population, but I understand if you talking about- say- European wolves. And yes, a lot of the population in AK drindled after the WW, they were killing them off, but now its back at a good population.

LOL! Me too!

PS.

Kev!

Yes I agree with you about helping protect the moose population. In a natural situation the wolves could not wipe out moose populations as all the animals would be widely dispersed, and once the moose got to low numbers in one area the wolves would leave that area to find a better hunting ground.

But, now many populations and moose and wolves are fragmented due to human development of land or hunting etc etc. Because we have altered the habitats its out duty to manage them now if they are not true wilderness any more. That would include controlling the population of predators too...but not exterminating them.

Are people still allowed to hunt the moose if the population is declining? If they are that should be stopped util the population is healthy again.

I am from Europe so have no idea about wolf populations in America. Are they common over there? I live in Thailand now and we have a species of wild dog that looks a bit like a wolf, but it smaller and red colour with short fur. They are also very rare now as people will shoot them on sight - in fact in this county any large animal or bird is shot on sight for no apparent reason other than fun. We do have some large nature reserves and now most wild animals are only found in them where there are no people.

I wish! they'd kill off the moose their then move on, if they left it while there were few, then, well, we wouldn;t have to worry

) Sorry, I realized i was like 'kill 'de wolves say 'de moose' XD, I was just defending the moose, but its REALLY stupid here- their trying to kill wolves from planes to help moose & caribou populations... grrrr....

I'm in Alaska and pretty much everything here is abundant, just depends where you go. As for other places I can not say, nor will I try to atempt to say.
