S Why are people so afraid of wolves?
Did you know there has never been a report of a healthy wolf attacking a person unprovoked. Why are people so scared of them, I worked with them at one point and they were really sweet.
They don%26#039;t bite anymore then regular dogs do unless they are provoked. The only time I got bitten was by a baby one but it was playing.

It was a domestic wolf I was playing with.

Wolves aren%26#039;t just a threat to people but did you do research on how often wolves attack livestock or even household pets. This is where they become a common nuisance, they could damage sheep or cows, cats and dogs. It%26#039;s not just about the human interaction. I live in an area that has wolves.

I didnt know foresay people are ,maybee some people.I suppose along time ago when wolves were present here a walk at night might have been pretty creepy with a pack of wolves howling and hunting nearby.I would say wolves are more disliked than feared though.They are disliked by ranchers because they do kill livestock,But who was here first the rancher or the wolf.

because people fear what they do not understand that and wolves have been depicted as mean ravenous animals

People are uneducated. Now maybe you have educated some people about them.
