Some groups believe wolves should be killed. Others believe wolves must be protected.wolvesFor Killing WolvesIn Alaska, the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago because people were killing hundreds of them. However, laws were made to protect the wolves. So the wolf population has greatly increased. Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply.A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family. Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters and by changes in the wild plant life.

So we must change the cycle (循环) of life in the wild land. In another northern state, wolves kill cows and chickens for food. Farmers believe it necessary to kill wolves in some areas.Against Killing WolvesAccording to most stories, hungry wolves often kill people for food. Even today, the stories of the “big bad wolf” still spread among the people.Actually wolves are afraid of people and they seldom travel in areas where there is a human smell. When wolves eat other animals, they usually kill the very young or the sick. The strongest isnt killed. No animal would have lived through the centuries if the weak members had lived. It has always been a law of nature.Researchers have found wolves and their prey living in balance. The wolves keep the deer population from becoming too large, and that keeps a balance in the wild plant life.The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used by people. Even if wild land is not used for human needs, the wolves cant always find enough food. So they travel to the nearest place, which is often a farm. Then there is danger. The “big bad wolf” has arrived! And everyone knows what happens next.20 .
