A wolf is neither good nor evil, it seems Myth still out lives the wolf, but now many understand their nature. There are extremist on both sides of the wolf debate, Most ranchers don't hate wolves, but sometimes they kill thier livestock, some on the other side think that wolves should never be killed for any reason, no one wants to see a wolf killed, but when man and wolf come into conflict usually the wolf will loose. It is then better for a few wolves to be put down then have a back-lash against wolves and see unrestricted hunting legalized, a compromise must be reached to save the wolf as a whole, it is unfortunate that the wolf through no fault of its own has come into conflict with us, but the reality is that with the ever shrinking wilderness that if there is no compromise the wolf may once again be on the brink of extinction. To help protect the wolf, we will need to help protect the wilderness that is left. Today we understand the science of the wolf, but the soul is lost.
Wolves are wild animals, meant to live out their lives in freedom.
When human beings interfere in the lives of wild animals, it becomes their responsibility to provide what the animals cannot provide for themselves - a healthy environment in which to live. We must also reach a balance with those who want to see the wolf controlled, thier concerns must not be dismissed, they must become part of the conservation debate For some wolves live in the imagination as shadows of evil, fueled by fallacy and fiction. We all must work together to ensure that the songs of the wolves will always be heard in all the wild places of our earth. The wolf has been part of the natural balance for thousands of years, in less than 100 years man through ignorance and misinformation has almost made wolves disappear forever.
