“Yellows Stone After Wolves”, we can see that within Yellowstone National Park, wolves, specifically gray wolves, are being reintroduced after nearly being hunted to extinction during the 19th and 20th centuries. Many people are not in favor of this due to fear of losing livestock, threats to humans, and even the destabilization of ecosystems due to wolves being major predators. Another park that wolves were reintroduced into was Isle Royale National Park, in which the wolves thrive, there are no
Wolves are considered to be one of the most intelligent animals on the earth. They have 30% more brain capacity than all dogs. Wolves aren’t at all what they seem in movies like “The Grey.” In “The Grey” wolves hunt and chase humans similar to the shark in the movie “Jaws.” It’s sheer ignorance. Quite the opposite happens in real life, they are usually running from us. Wolves purposely avoid us, but we really don’t know if it’s out of fear or respect. Wolves are very captivating, but the most perplexing

Aldo Leopold decided to write about how he understood about time and life by using a mountain as an example. John Muir wrote how it takes years for trees to grow
farmers. Today the attitude about wolves differs broadly in Sweden, and has been a popular topic of debate for years whether or not we should allow wolves in Swedish nature. In the following text I will attempt to provide a summary of the history of the Swedish wolf as well as to discuss the importance of not allowing wolf hunting, argue for the positive effect wolves could bring to the Swedish forest ecology, and provide facts to answer common misconceptions about wolves.

250,000-500,00 Gray Wolves (Canis Lupus) roamed North America. In the 1930’s people decided to try to exterminate them. Once they were endangered, people realized what an impact Gray Wolves have on the environment, as well as the effects they have on other animals.

Animal Rights Some people assume that just because animals cannot speak that they cannot feel pain. It is not okay to torture living beings that have their own thoughts and breathe the exact same air us humans breathe. It is unjust and selfish to stand by and take no action while everyday hundreds if not thousands of innocent animals die without reason. No matter how much fur or how many limbs the creature has; it should be treated as equal as a person. A heart beat is a heartbeat regardless of the
Perhaps one solution to wolf endangerment could be creating a website to increase public awareness of wolves. The hate against wolves is very strong. It is a common attitude to fear them.

Holt, the founder of fisheries science, writes about how Japan claimed that “world fish catches
