Wolves are dangerous to humans.
Although wolves are large, powerful animals that could kill humans, they do not. According to wolf expert Dr. L. David Mech, there is no documented case of a healthy wild wolf killing a human in North America. By comparison, more than 20 people are killed and 3 million attacked each year by man's best friend, the domestic dog. Wolves will eliminate or substantially reduce prey species. Food availability and weather regulate wolf populations.
