Past, Present and Future
of the Wolf
Some people believed that all wolves were vicious hunters that killed their livestock and humans. Before the 1980's there were no laws to protect the wolf and they were heavily hunted. People tried to completely get rid of the wolf. Some people still believe that wolves are vicious killers. However there are many people who want to save wolves.
Today in the U.S. we have laws to protect the wolf. You can’t hunt wolves, not even with a permit. However you can hunt them in Canada.
Some people still believe that wolves are vicious killers. However there are many people who want to save wolves.
In the future the wild life preserves wants to renter the wolves into the wild. They want to bring wild life preserves wolves around the world to places were they are extinct to enter them back into the wild.
