Theodore Roosevelt said “speak softly and carry a big stick” some people have no idea what he means by this quote, We never thought wolves would become as much of a problem until now. I believe the wolf population is happening right under our noses and we don't even know it yet. Even though the wolf numbers might not recover, wolves should be hunted because wolves are killing large numbers of deer and livestock and wolves are endangering humans and farmers.
Unique Wolves If you visit northern Wisconsin, don't be surprised to hear the eerie and beautiful howl of wolves at night. They have returned after about 40 years of absence. By the 1950's, wolves had been driven out of their ancient homeland by ranchers and the federal government. Wolves killed livestock for food, so they were considered nuisances. But starting in the 1990's, the state reintroduced wolves to help manage the deer population.
The Supreme overlord, Lion, was nocturnal and had the best vision out of all the rest of the animals. All the animals feared him and stayed away from him at all costs. Lion was pure evil and he had no care for any of the animals. Wolf was the only animal that wasn’t afraid of Lion since he was best at hunting at night. Wolf loved and helped other animals that were helpless and gave some animals hope, he was as gracious and caring as a God.
Wolves, when in groups, are universally threatening and recurrently feared. This being known, they are often portrayed as an evil or opposing force. Although, on occasion, they have also been known to be referred to as “noble creatures who can teach us many things.” (http://www.wolfcountry.net/) But consequently, despite the popular interpretation of wolves and their characteristics, each story presents its own interpretation of their many characteristics.
There is an estimated 60,000 wolves in Canada. Farley Mowat studies the grey wolf in his book Never Cry Wolf (1963). Throughout the book, Mowat uses the rhetorical strategies pathos, logos, and personification to disprove the misconception about wolves. The book is about a scientist (Farley Mowat) that flies into the Canadian Barrens in order to research wolves. His goal is to prove that wolves are killing thousands of caribou for sport, but he find that the wolves are not to blame for the decrease in caribou populations.
In Mary Tallmoutain’s poem, The Last Wolf, she writes about a lone gray wolf, which is an important symbol in Native American culture. Many films and stories today use the wolf as a symbol of Native American culture. In fact, if you go into a shop that sells any kind of Native American decorations, they almost always have some with a wolf on
Mowat and his colleagues had the wrong idea about the wolves and this novel allows the reader to be able to see the truth.
Mexican gray wolves usually stay in habitats like mountain forests. They once ranged from central Mexico throughout the southwestern U.S before its extinction. Wolves are very social animals. They live in packs like any other wolves would most likely live like. When they reproduce pups are born blind and defenseless.

In the following quotation, the reader see a classmate asking about Finn’s illness.
Mowat and his colleagues had the wrong idea about the wolves and this novel allows the reader to be able to see the truth. Mowat spent enough time familiarizing himself with the wolves so that they did not see him as a threat. As his trip came to an end, Mowat had to investigate the wolves’ den. As he entered he realized he was not alone. The female wolf, Angelina, and one of her pups were hidden due to the
In Mowat’s writing, he uses emotion, facts, and trust to convince the reader that wolves are not bloodthirsty killers. To begin with, Mowat uses emotion to help the reader connect with the wolves. In chapter five he watches as the wolves are “centered around the playing of a game of tag” (64). From this, readers are able to connect with the wolves and understand the joy
A remote island that has remained uninfluenced by humans is now on the verge of losing its wolf population due to genetic deformities. The island is called Isle Royale and its once abundant wolf inhabitants have now dwindled to three remaining wolves. This leaves many scientists and researchers with the question of what actions to take in order to save the wolves from extinction. After researching and gathering information, it is clear that the best way to save these wolves is for humans to immediately introduce more wolves to the island in order for the island to flourish, genetic variation to expand, and the number of wolf offspring to rise.
Although in Carter’s “The Company of Wolves” seems as if the story supports the binary oppositions, but the bottom line of Carter’s story is that the story combines the two worlds of wolves versus humans. In reality, Carter’s story undermines and collapses the binary oppositions by a great
The gray wolf 's expressive behavior is more complex than that of the coyote and golden jackal, as necessitated by its group living and hunting habits. While less gregarious canids generally possess simple repertoires of visual signals, wolves have more varied signals which subtly inter grade in intensity.[12][13] When neutral, the legs are not stiffened, the tail hangs down loosely, the face is smooth, the lips untensed, and the ears point in no particular direction.[135] Postural communication in wolves consists of a variety of facial expressions, tail positions and piloerection.[120] Aggressive, or self-assertive wolves are characterized by their slow and deliberate movements, high body posture and raised hackles, while submissive ones carry their bodies low, sleeken their fur and lower their ears and tail.[136] When a breeding male encounters a subordinate family member, it may stare at it, standing erect and still with the tails horizontal to its spine.[137] Two forms of submissive behavior are recognized: passive and active. Passive submission usually occurs as a reaction to the approach of a dominant animal, and consists of the submissive wolf lying partly on its back and allowing the dominant wolf to sniff its anogenital area.
In the book, “Never Cry Wolf,” there are two different opinions as to why the deer population is declining. The first opinion is the one the government wants to impress on people, and it is the one that most people believe. They believe that the decline in the population of deer is being caused by the wolves. “…because their grievance is the complaint that the wolves are killing all the deer, and more and more of our fellow citizens are coming back from more and more hunts with less and less deer” (Mowat 9). They believe that the wolves are vicious and that they kill for enjoyment.
