There have been a small number of cases where wolves attack humans, but the majority of attacks that do occur generally prey on cattle or sheep. With fencing and guard dogs, an equilibrium can be reached. Maybe have you kids wander with a protective dog. I don't want to see us continually destroy and suppress biodiversity because it's inconvenient for us.


There have been a small number of cases where wolves attack humans because

1. Humans have spent centuries exterminating wolves anywhere humans regularly go.

2. Humans adapt their behavior to minimize the risk of attack by wild predators.

This is like saying "relatively few people get mugged wandering around alone in the tenderloin at 3am". It's because everyone knows it's a terrible idea and avoids doing so. That doesn't make the area safe.


Let’s put it into perspective. How many people get attacked by dogs vs wolves?


How many people are attacked by grizzly bears vs dogs?


They're alpha predators. Alpha predators are vital to a healthy, functioning ecosystem.


Thank you for your efforts!


Massive disinformation campaigns that have occurred over the past 10 to 15 years.


So edgy...


There is a large body of peer-reviewed research showing the enormous damage that invasives species to do ecosystems. Pollinators will use non-native species if they don't have anything else available, but pollinator diversity and abundance is always less than what you'd find in a native-dominated plant assemblage.


Just read this... yes, what an amazing HBO mini-series his life would make!
