In 1994, the Belly River wolf pack raised seven pups within km of 150 cow-calf pairs. At the end of the summer, livestock producers in the area confirmed that they had recorded no losses to wolves. Research has shown that wolf packs, while opportunistic, tend to select prey for which they develop expertise in hunting. If this is the case, it may be possible to retain wolves that select wild prey by choice, while destroying wolves that develop a habit of hunting livestock. Ranchers and wolves should be able to live together as long as there is fair monetary compensation for lost live stock and offending wolves are quickly identified and destroyed.
Wolves are cruel and kill for the fun of it.
Wolves, like sport hunters, take hunting very seriously. Wolves have to hunt to survive. They do not catch everything they chase and they can often go up to two weeks without eating. Wolves are a threat to our children. No one has ever been attacked by a healthy wolf in North America.
