Wolves In Canada

For one, by 1980, wolves doubled to 50. By then it was apparent, ‘balance of nature’ seems to be the force that guides nature. This shows that wolves should be introduced because they are needed for balance

Wolves have always been a symbol of the wild, free in spirit and roamers of the land. These animals are considered majestic and protectors of the wilderness. They have always roamed the western United States, although their population has fluctuated over time. Over the past 10 years wolf reintroduction into Yellowstone National Park has been a controversial topic to those of the United States. As of 1995, wolves have been reintroduced into the park. This has come with some strong opposition and yet has prevailed. The future of the wolf in Yellowstone park is now looking bright, although not certain since there still are those who want them banished again.

Throughout the 1970’s, the US Fish and Wildlife Service developed a criteria to help identify the red wolf from the other the canids in order to protect them. Between 1974 and 1980, the US Fish and Wildlife service used this to identify and discovered that there only 17 red wolves remaining in the

Around the world, there are thousands of wildlife animals. Gray Wolves are one type of them; their small domestic animals that are very fast, move in packs, and hunt deer and other animals for food. Despite the fact that Gray Wolves hunt deer, they are helpful animals to the ecosystem. Gray Wolves keep the ecosystem’s movement in check. They actually help the environment more than hurt it. They can be as friendly like dogs if raised from pups. They’re very interesting animals and it should be illegal to hunt them because they are almost extinct, they keep the prey population in check, and are unique animals trying to survive.

In “Scared to Death” by Ed Yong and Sharon Levy’s “Wolf Family Values,” we read about the need to protect the population of wolves in North America. These two articles have very different ways to go about this. Ed Yong talks about the wolf effects on elk as well as the rest of the environment. Levy’s approach is about wolf social structure and how it is impacted by hunting. Both of these make some valid points on why more conservation efforts should be made; however, I believe Ed Yong made the stronger case.

Without the proper knowledge needed to understand how the wolf works, the creature is inaccurately shown as a wild, vicious killer. As Mowat progresses through his research he learns about the wolves hunting abilities and begins to acquire new information and states,” I could hardly believe that the all-powerful and intelligent wolf would limit his predation on the caribou herds to culling the sick and infirm when he could presumably, take his choice of the fattest and most succulent individuals” (Mowat 126). The way the government and people portray wolves as mindless killers is not only false, but it is far from the truth. Wolves are instead intelligent creatures that have the ability to choose and pick the right kill. Also, as Mowat researches their eating habits he finds that “the wolves of Wolf House Bay, and, by inference at least, all the Barren Land wolves who were raising families outside the summer caribou range, were living largely, on mice” (Mowat 107). During the summer the wolves weren’t even that cause of the deaths of caribou. Instead they found new resources to live off of when the caribou leave so they can continue to survive. This information is an exact contrast to the

The red wolves are an endangered species. Right now they are only 45-60 left the wild. If people don't do something soon they might become completely extinct.

In your own words how would you describe a wolf? Probably as a vicious, bloodthirsty kill. Well in Farley Mowat’s book he aims to change that view. The book Never Cry Wolf by Farley Mowat was published in 1963. The book is the story of when he, Farley Mowat, goes into the Northern Canadian Plains to study wolves. While he is there he discovers that wolves aren’t as savage and bloodthirsty as everyone seems to think. In his book he uses emotion, facts and trust to persuade us that the wolves aren't bloodthirsty and savage as everyone seems to think.

Long before the settlers started to make the United States their home, “American Indians lived long beside the Gray Wolf before settlers started to come here.” (Rowe, Mark) The wolf is native to the North American continent and has been inhabiting its land for centuries. It is a canid species, or member of the canine family and is a cunning, smart, fast, and sly animal. Gray wolves range in color from black, brown, gray, and white and also look like a grown German Shepherd. They are well known for traveling in family sizes from 7-9 wolves, led by the alpha male and have a mate. They are a fierce animal that has been researched extensively because of their unique qualities and that they are near extinction.

Wolves need to be managed and if they are not addressed they will continue to roam free of charge and deplete the livestock herds. Even beyond that our generation of families won't feel safe letting our grandchildren run around. The wolves have mass killed 19 elk in one night, slaughtered countless numbers of livestock and in places threatened people. “In the rural town of Reserve, New Mexico kids wait for the bus in wooden and metal cages, meant to protect the kids from wolf attacks.” (Toft, 2016). You may think is this is unnecessary, until you see and hear about the wolves growling and snarling at the frightened children. If this doesn’t change your opinions on wolves maybe you should sit in the cage and live in the wild with them. It's a sad time when the most important thing you walk out of the house with is not your coat or anything it’s your weapon, so you can defend your family, home, and livelihood. As communities and stewards of the land our duty is to protect as well as manage, we as hunters are managing, however the wolves are not being managed correctly, and are getting away with the minor scolding of words that they cannot comprehend from the government. I’m not saying eradicate them but certainly allow the ranchers and such to shoot wolves, and for the government to take charge and trap, shoot, and dart these arithmetically growing wolf

The wolf was once a much slandered animal. In the western world, people feared and hated wolves, and this legacy is reflected in stories such as Little Red Riding Hood and The Boy Who Cried Wolf. In these popular children's tales the wolf is made out to be a prowler and a killer of livestock and people. There is some basis for The Boy Who Cried Wolf, for wolves have killed cattle and sheep. But what of Little Red Riding Hood? There are no records of wolves killing humans in Canada or the United States. Yet, when wolves were spotted near rural communities, fear used to grip the populace, but over time this has become less prevalent.

An oil company came into Alaska and hired a sniper to kill any wolves that attempt to kill the workers. Due to the oil company arriving in Alaska resulted in habitat loss for all the animals in that area. This affects wildlife’s hunting grounds, homes, and food supply. The hired sniper which is Ottway kills the wolves that are hunting to survive. This sniper studies the natural history of wolves.

Wolves are amazing creatures that stack up to be more than your average canine. Wolves can stake claim to territories recorded to be over 800 miles. Average wolf packs usually consist of 8-10 wolves, but one Denali pack recorded 27 members plus 3 pups. They have the ability to hunt caribou, moose, Dall sheep, beaver, and ground squirrel. They use howling and scent marking to scare of rival packs. They also show us their rank in the pack by the position in which they carry their tale. They accomplish all this with a brain twice the size of a domestic dog, and extremely developed social skills. Not only are these wolves the most famous in the world, one group is the world’s oldest known family lineage of any nonhuman social vertebrate in the wild.

As I mention on my last statement, I believe that wolves are one of a kind specie because of their beauty and what they can capable of. They usually don’t hurt or eat humans unless you mess with their baby which is incredible. Wolves are an specie that need to stay alive for us to have more biodiversity. Wolves need to stop getting killed or else they will go on extinct. We need to appreciate the beauty of every specie, and be more informed on how having more biodiversity will help our planet become better.

After years of selective breeding and taming, the hunters finally came across some wolves that were able to listen to commands and do what they were ordered to do. These wolves did not look like the first ones with which humans came into contact. Their size, coloring, senses and even the length of their coat or swimming ability reflected the environment in which they lived. These environments could have ranged from anything since hunters do not stay in one place for very long. These wolves probably did not reflect their gray ancestors much anymore. The color of their coat could have become brown, black, or even yellow depending on where they were taken. Their size could have been affected, too, depending on how the hunters had used them- they could have shrunken to the size
