In the wolves natural state it lives in balance with its prey. The fluctuation in the population of either predator or prey either causes or reflects a fluctuation in the other. No predator wipes out its prey. As such, the wolf is a good barometer of our environment. Recent studies have proven that in areas where wolves prey upon deer, both the quality of habitat and the general health of the deer herd are improved.

There is no recorded case where a wolf has attacked man. The wolf is a shy animal and will run away from man. Wolves have only been know to attack other than it's normal prey if cornerd, sick or in time of no food.

Wolves are loyal to their mates and have a strong sense of family. The Alpha Male cares for the pack and looks out for their safety and well being. We all could take a lesson of their family habits. It would make this world we live in a better place.

The arguments, both pro and con, will continue to swirl around the wolf controversy for years to come. I believe that our greatest cause for alarm is our uneducated human population. As we destroy our wildness, we so destroy the wolf and other beautiful animals that The Great Sprit has put on this earth. I, for one, don't want to live without either.
