Theodore Roosevelt said “speak softly and carry a big stick” some people have no idea what he means by this quote, We never thought wolves would become as much of a problem until now. I believe the wolf population is happening right under our noses and we don't even know it yet. Even though the wolf numbers might not recover, wolves should be hunted because wolves are killing large numbers of deer and livestock and wolves are endangering humans and farmers. Many people believe that the wolf population will not recover if the humans continue to hunt them,or increase our hunting on them.”The latest population survey results estimate that 470 wolf packs lived in Minnesota's wolf range this past winter, 212 more wolves than estimated on the survey conducted in winter 2013”.(DNR).The wolf population is increasing when people are worried that it won't be able to recover from hunting and that they should be endangered. The way the wolf population is going we will have more and more wolf packs …show more content…

Tony Bridges an anti-wolf supporter and writer, claims that this foreign species is, “much larger and more aggressive” (Bridges, 2011), than the wolves that previously existed here. This claim is formed from the understanding that the wolves reintroduced in the lower 48 states, were transplanted from various parts of Alberta and British Columbia in Canada. Consequently this, “larger and more aggressive subspecies...has destroyed big game populations in many areas and are making a serious impact on elk, deer, moose and all other big game animals throughout their ranges” (Bridges, 2011). Bridges believes that the reintroduction was carried through in order to spite hunting privileges of citizens.

Barking, among several other things, separates dogs from wolves, and perhaps played a major role in how we got to the man’s best friend we know and love. Barking as an early warning system would have been invaluable to ancient man, and they would have shown preference, knowingly or not, for puppies who barked the most enthusiastically at intruders. In exchange, they would have allowed the pups to live off the bones and scraps of carcass that were unusable for human consumption. The older theory, that wolves were domesticated to aid in the hunt alongside humans, is less likely, as humans would have already become more skilled in the hunt than wolves. New theories have emerged that say that as a result of humans making settlements and agriculture,

The Norwegian and Japanese positions and arguments to be permitted with the hunting of non-endangered species of whales as a cultural exemption should not be considered.

Wildlife Conservation is often seen as a bad thing, but if you look at it from my perspective, then it is actually a good thing.
