Poachers are going to be your main concern. Gosh, poachers make me sick.
Hunting is only allowed when the populations are very stable, and even then, thereβs a cap for how many wolves can be legally killed. But most hunters I know stick to deer, birds, etc., things they can eat.
As for ranchers, they have legit reasons to kill wolves. Death of livestock costs them thousands of dollars. According to East Oregonian, 3 dead calves equals a $10,000 loss.
Wolves are beautiful animals, so itβs sad when a few die, but it wonβt hurt the population. Those numbers are very carefully monitored.Β

Yeah that is true, the are some who say they monitor the population in some areas, and they actually don't and let people come in and murder a pack and murder pups. But I'm glad their are people who make sure not to let ranchers push them around. I do agree with population control, at a reasonable rate, but when people go shooting innocent pups, and pregnant mothers that's when, in my opinion is too far. It's sad to see, I feel bad for them, they just want to survive.π

Ya, they are. But the number IS increasing a bit however. A pretty fast rate I would say.Β

No they aren't, they are on the least concerned list. They were on the endangered list but were taken off in 2013. The wolf you are speaking of must be the Mexican gray wolf which is a subspecies, this person is referring to the common North American gray wolf aka the timber wolf.

I agree 100%, gray wolves are not endangered, they are least concern.

Although the gray wolf, and many other canids weren't endangered, there are still some canids which were still at risk from extinction.
These are the canids that still needed to be saved from extinction as shown below:
- Red wolves (Canis rufus, once considered as subspecies of gray wolves) [critically endangered]
- Ethiopian wolves (Canis simensis) [endangered]
- Dholes (Cuon alpinus) [endangered]
- Darwin's foxes (Lycalopex fulvipes) [endangered]
- African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) [endangered]
- Maned wolves (Chrysocyon brachyurus) [near threatened]
-Β Island foxes (Urocyon littoralis) [near threatened]

When this stamp was created, they in fact were endangered. But, now that it is 2016 they aren't considered endangered. Back in 2013 they removed them from the endangered species list.
You can find a list of the current endangered species of canines on World Wildlife Fund's website, and here

Stop commenting that the gray wold is endangered, just because they don't have any in your state doesn't make them endangered. In places like Montana & Idaho you can find a lot of them, so stop complaining.Β
In Oregon, they had to shoot some old/injured wolves that were attacking cattle. I personally didn't agree with their actions and how they handled the situation, but you can't fix the past. They tried trapping them several times, and nothing else could've been done.Β

But you know what species IS endangered?
Wolf lovers that respect opinions.

Yes they are. I'm not being a wolfaboo, but they are. Very endangered, in fact. Some states have it illegal to kill them i'm pretty sure.

From a worldwide point of view, the grey wolf isn't endangered andΒ is classified as an LC-species by most organisations, such as WNF, ESA and The Red List. While their natural range is nowadays smaller then their historical one, they aren't near endangerment and are even overpopulated in some regions. Some subspecies however, such as the Mexican and Indian wolf, are considered to be endangered. The grey wolf is only considered to be an endangered species in regions where their populations are low.

They were removed off of the endangered list in 2013. Most documentaries are old. And you can't just believe someone just because they're a teacher.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, that's good. But grey wolves are endangered still.Β
π: 0 β©: 0
Nope they're least concern, You might want to research it a bit more.
π: 0 β©: 1
I have. My science teacher showed us a fucking 2 hour documentary about them.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep as we all know, ALL documentaries are completely unbiased and completely 100% factual *cough*. Because clearly the people who's job it is to categories endangered species and etc wouldn't know squat *facepalm*.Β www.iucnredlist.org/details/37β¦ Interesting what doing a small amount of research can fine.Β

Point is they aren't endangered nor are they officially labeled endangered.

omg i cant stop laughing at all the butthurt wolfaboosΒ Β

If wolfaboos want to save wolves how about save other endangered species of wolves like the red or Mexican wolves.

If only animal lovers were as passionate about saving the Cheetah as they are bout saving DUH WOOOOOOLLLLLLLLFFFFFFFSSSS!

I love Cheetahs. Then again, I love all kinds of big cats.
π: 0 β©: 1
I love them too, but my point was Cheetahs are endangered and Wolves are overpopulated.

I never knew they were endangered. That's a bummer.

Actually, they are endangered where I live, well...they are not since they aren't here anymore

In some of the lower states they are endangered or extinct (mexican grey wolves are critically endangered) But as a whole, their population is of least concern.

Truely~
In Denmark we haven't had wolves for like a lot of years, so our country is now running crazy over an OLD SICK WOLF came over here XD
God I love how people react on wolves, I mean come'on! Think 'bout the cute tigers! They're more endangered! at least the white ones
π: 0 β©: 3
Honestly there are more tigers (not white ones) in captivity than in the wild. Meanwhile in where I live, wolves are everywhere and breeding like rats.
π: 0 β©: 1
I know.
Well not 'know' I weren't sure about the amount of tigers.
Anywho it's definitely true that wolves breed rapidly
π: 0 β©: 0
Yeah.
Wait...you just pushed one of major don't-ever-go-there buttons.
White tigers are merely a line of disgustingly inbred bengal tigers, they are not a species, they are not even albinos. White tigers are made by crossing to closely related Bengal tigers (such as a father and daughter), the result is a litter of mutated offspring. 4 out of 5 white tiger cubs are too mutated and disfigured, and are put to sleep by their breeders (who sell healthy white tiger cubs for high prices, only for profit). If you look closely, you will see that all white tigers have crossed eyes, a result of inbreeding as well. White tigers also clutter up the Bengal tiger line (which are endangered) and prevent releases into the wild to repopulate or generate a natural breeding population. All in all, white tigers are a very sad subject.
As a side note, all tiger species and subspecies are considered to be either extinct or endangered.

Ouf... Sorry, I didn't mean to go like that, I admit I've always thought of white tigers being their own species... I'm sorry.
I know tigers are endangered, but I just kinda assumed white ones were more..
I skrewed up. Sorry.

Sorry for the rant ^^' Β
I always do that when people bring up white tigers, it just breaks my heart D:

Now it does for me too ;Γ

Poor creatures...

White tigers aren't a separate species- it's just a mutation that arises from inbreeding
Why aren't people worried about tuna? They might not be pretty but they're useful, play an important part in the ecosystem, and are still fished pretty heavily...
π: 0 β©: 1
But... Tuna ain't dying off are they? ...
I know c: but some colorations are most rare; such as the rhinos... actually most rhinos are endangered
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, a lot of the more commercially valuable species are. Yellowfin tuna, for example, is considered near threatened by the IUCN and its population is decreasing. The southern blue fin tuna is considered critically endangered and as the population continues to decline, it's unlikely the species will ever recover
Rhino only come in grey, I think

Java Rhino, only 60 of them left.Β

omg really? that's awful, but sadly it would seem that the majority of people only care about the grey wolf.
