Protect the Gray Wolves Long before settlers began to make the United States their home, "American Indians lived alongside the gray wolf for a long time before settlers began to come here". (Rowe, Mark) The wolf is native to the North American continent and has inhabited its land for centuries. It is a species of canid, or member of the canid family, and is a cunning, intelligent, fast and cunning animal. Gray wolves vary in color from black, brown, gray and white and also look like an adult German Shepherd. They are well known to travel in families of 7-9 wolves, led by the alpha male and have a mate. They are a ferocious animal that has been extensively researched due to their unique qualities and the fact that they are close to extinction. The first settlers, as early as the 1700s, tried to liberate these wonderful creatures from the North American continent, which almost led to their extinction. They poisoned, trapped, furred, shot, and killed any wolves that posed a threat to their lands and livestock. It seemed that the colonists were successful in the early 1700s because as the human population increased in America, unfortunately, the wolf population decreased dramatically. They pushed wolves out of their original habitats, and settlers made their habitats their home. The wolf population may have collapsed for many reasons, but the main reason was the fear humans had of wolves. Occasionally, wolves would hunt in the fields where the settler's livestock grazed and, at the right moment, ambush the livestock for food. Wolves hunted livestock because horses were too much work to kill: horses had strong hind legs that posed a threat to wolves. Farmers and settlers have also seen these wolves in a... medium of paper... where wolves are present, equipped with advanced cameras with analytics that can detect the shape of a wolf and, ultimately, whether a If a wolf attacks a rancher's livestock, the government would compensate for the lost livestock. Even ordinary people could be of great help in protecting the gray wolf. They could donate money to national organizations, such as the Sierra Club, which promotes wolf protection. Many environmental organizations will combine messages from the public and their members and send them to government leaders. The public can always be better advocates for wolf protection by continually staying informed and informed about the status of wolves. Although the difficulties of farmers with wolves are very real and the problem must be solved. Ultimately, wolves need to be protected throughout the United States.
