Truth About Wolves or the Wolf

Wolves, like men, kill other animals in order to eat. Unlike men, wolves do not kill for trophy and they do not waste "food". Does this guy look like a viscious, blood thirsty killer? Wolves have very structured families and play very structured games. They have a deep ability to love. I hope in some way this video will show people the Truth about these incredible creatures. Mine are all rescues, some of them cruelty cases. All are spayed or neutered. I do not promote having them as pets. They are very dog like in many ways, but still very different and require special care and tons of patience and genuine love to bond this deeply with humans due to their lack of trust in humans. Men have a bloody history of being their arch enemy and this distrust, understandably, is ingrained in their spirit.

It is amazing when you do the math. How many wolf attacks on people have resulted in death? Very few. How many human attacks on wolves have resulted in death? Millions. Now - who is the true blood thirsty killer once the propaganda is removed? I would say the one that kills for trophy and glory, not merely to survive.

The wolf in this video has a small percentage of Malamute mix, for clarity's sake. He is all wolf in behavior. He was actually my most difficult case due to the emotional scarring he came to me with.

Remember, we fear what we do not understand.

Wolves are beautiful creatures but take into consideration the fact that they are killing machines bread to kill, they do kill other animals typically they grab the nose of a deer and its rear and pin it down while they rip its guts out as it stands, oh sure they look cute but don't forget they weren't made for cute they were made for brutality and efficency when it comes to survival and belong in the wild not at home just like Tigers and Pythons and all the other animals people keep as pets.

Wolves kill to eat, this is true. They are not merely "killing machines" though. That is a generalization that I do not witness on a daily basis. Humans kill to eat; wolves kill to eat. They are much like humans in they love to play, be lazy and share affection among themselves, and in this case, with those who take care of them. Killing is a means to survive. Fairy tales have given them a bad rap. Thankfully, biologically sound information is becoming more available.

Again, mine are rescues who did not choose to live in captivity. I do not breed them nor advocate them as pets. I merely try to give a good life to a few that were abused, neglected and/or abandoned by heartless humans or sometimes someone who just didn't know what they were getting into. I do what I can to make a difference and right a wrong.

It is nearly impossible to know the exact number of wolves that existed in North America pre-European settlement and likewise is true for immediately after. The most acceptable statement is that between 1850 and the mid-1960s an estimated 1 to 2 million wolves were killed by humans. For numbers after wolves were listed as an endangered species, numbers for depredation controls (wolves lethally removed) are available through USDA Wildlife Services by state.

To bagodirtywealth: Here is some information from the International Wolf Center. I will put it in a separate post due to character count limitations. Keep in mind, the number of one to two million only represents a one hundred year span. So stating millions have been killed is not far fetched. Though a general statement, it is very factual that over time millions have been killed by man. I do my research. I hope you and others can benefit in some way.  Thank you for your post.

Anyone can appreciate your love for wolves, but your biased, emotionally-guided facts are, to an extent, untrue. Wolves do kill for sport, and do waste kills. Surplus killing and frenzy kills are all too uncommon.

Asserting their ability to love is far-fetched. Human emotions have no place in animal behavior.

Saying that the persecution of the wolf has ingrained a sense of distrust is comical. Do the mamma wolves explain to the pups that humans are bad?

And millions of wolves killed?

You are entitled to your opinions but they seem very generalized and based on something you read rather than something you experienced first hand. I live with them, per se. They climb into my lap. They express affection through nuzzling and licking. In depth studies of writings by renowned biologists such as David Mech and others helped form many of my beliefs about wolves. They share kills with other animals. Hope this helps. Thank you for your interest and comments.

Yes I knew some one out there thought the same about wolves you rock waves rock 2

He's so cute! Those two remind me of two loving dogs. I personally would not keep them for a pet just because they ARE wild animals even if raised from birth. But they are beautiful creatures.

Showing footage of a relaxed wolf and asking "does this look like a bloodthirsty killer to you" is laughably superficial. I could do a video on a sunbathing baby crocodile and ask the same thing.

Also, google "surplus killing". Wolves do occasionally kill more than is necessary to keep themselves alive.

Also, your comments on wolf attacks on humans are provincial to say the least
