This is definately not agresion, this is misstaken for agresion and wolves get bad reputation because of this. Its all wrong, this is a normal wolf pack behaviour, they are just making sounds and moves to remind every one of their position in the pack, so this is necesary and completly normal. No need to be worried

@animalsshouldlive Right. As the title of the video states, it's dominance behavior. If a wolf in the park expressed true aggression, I'm sure they would be separated from the rest of the pack. I don't know what "it's all wrong" you're referring to.

fucking cruel, its like watching lions in a circus, these wolfs have no way out and nothing to let of some steam, wolfs need the challenge of killing for food and yet this place give them there meat all cut up, these wolfs are acting so unnatural compared to how they would act in the wild.

Wolfpark is something of a special case. Actually, they allow the wolves to act out most of the hunting/chasing pattern with their resident herd of bison. But when the bison circle up, the wolves are stalemated, then brought back into their own (huge) enclosure. The purpose of the park is to learn more about wolves, and show the public that wolves are not creatures to be feared and exterminated.

I would encourage you to email the Wolf Park staff with your concerns. And learn how to spell.

I have hybrids and know this is totally normal.

@ thehomefront...if they were not in this enclosure they would be hanging from a farmers side barn...we are fighting laws right now to protect these beautiful animals and need to make sure they are not on the extinct list...Wolf Park is a conservation and study sector...a must need to continue preservation and action on these animals.

@Kiara92899 And who is it that's tortured and mocked? The staff take great care of all the animals.

@Animapantherkat Although your comment : I'd much rather these wolves be alive and in cramped quarters than dead. Is true, The wolves opinon would probably be to enjoy life. Think about it. If you were tortured and told you were worthless and mocked your whole life, you would just want to be put to rest, away from the pain and hurt you were brought all your life.

@thehomefront You have everything wrong thehomefront. This is an animal preserve not a zoo. There are differences. This gives them the feeling and chance to act like real wolves instead of being in a glass enclosure. The humans actually can interact with them from the other sides of the gate and do not tease them. There are differences and you need to acknowledge those or you can get alot of contraversy because of that comment you posted

Me and my family went there a few weeks ago! My sister really loves wolves and we went there as a birthday present for her. She's sponsoring one of the wolves there named Wotan, he's her favorite :D

Did you know that the Wolf Park Staff are taking care of wolf pups?

@Animapantherkat it's all wrong how some people understand this so they think its cruel or agresive...
