Absolutely love wolves - they should remain free & never be hunted down by vile humans x

Peter Squires

Not a pet - let them run wild and free

Erin Eldridge

Beautiful pics. Thanks! I've always loved wolves and Jack London's books. Also Farley Mowat's Cry Wolf. In my own books I pay tribute to wolves in my fantasy trilogy.

I love wolves and I agree that they should not be hunted down by humans at all.

Neal Christopher Wigley

Like the fact they are monogamous.

Jacqui Halvorson

"A pack of wolves involves 40 species"?? Fascinating! I thought wolves were a species! 🥴

Gail Cusack

Agree with others remarks, I love wolves and they should be allowed to be free in the wilderness and never aa pets or animal trophies. Beautiful intelligent animals

Eve

I love wolves. I believe that they belong in the wilderness and shown the respect all wild animals deserve.

Dave Walser

Janice Turkovich Stewart, German Shepherd or ( Alsatian) look as near to a wolf as they are used in films to portray wolves. My lovely Sophie a German shepherd would act many traits of a wolfs behaviour

I love the pixs of the wolves, they are beautiful & they should be protected like all animals.

ghknives

they should be protected when possible

Paula Salem

As a child I had a German Shepherd that was part wolf. He had the most haunting howl. Loved him.

Juliana Cloete

No wild animal should ever be kept as a pet.

Linda Spreng

No wolf should ever be made a pet. Their nature is to take out other animals. Humans are other animals. Turn over animal control to the wolf. They at least have a clue. They don't deplete other animals.

Linda Spreng

What wonderful animals. Their songs are spectacular!!!

This was some valuable information. Thank You. Love wolves"

Wolves are awesome; once they were reintroduced into Yellowstone, the ecosystem became balanced again. I don't believe wild animals should become trusting of people because people will betray and turn against the animals. No I don't think a wolf should be made a pet.
