That doesn't mean I would support keeping them as pets.

I say, don't keep any wild animal as a pet.
Sometimes it's even hard for me to accept foxes being on fur farms... I mean, they're called "wild animals" for a reason!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I agree even taking animals out from the wild for me is wrong.
I mean my friend had a "smart" idea to keep a squrriel as a pet then she wonderd why it bit her and ran away and died some were in her house.... Oh g idk lol

As a whole they are not endangered, though, thus cannot be placed on the endangered species list.

Actually, in the state of Illinois where I live (there's been sightings even though they just pass through), wolves are endangered

as a whole, they are not endangered. actually, the population of gray wolves is getting out of control.

Yes they need to be controlled but this: [link]

As long as wolf hunting is not legal in an area where wolves are considered to be endangered, then that's fine.
On a totally unrelated note, why do people hunt wolves in the first place? Is it just for sport?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, people may hunt wolves for various reasons.
A few I know of are population control (Too many wolves, which may endanger other species that live in that ecosystem, so people hunt them ot keep the population down), for sport, for fur AND food, and for defense (As in, shoot a wolf so it doesn't eat your cow).
Sorry for replying to an old comment.

Grey wolves aren't endangered but red wolves are critically endangered, close to becoming extinct in the wild according to wikipedia, and are in more trouble then grey wovles. Why don't wolfaboos only think about grey wolves or arctic wolves?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Grey wolves are actually a species of wolf with subspecies that are, in fact endangered.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
nobody really said anything about their subspecies. gray wolves really need to be hunted for population control, or lives could be at risk.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Subspecies that live in Arabia and India, not the ones in Europe or North America.

Opened your eyes a bit didn't it?

Not really. The species in itself is still thriving (several subspecies you mentioned are), just some populations mostly outside of North America and Europe
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
No, but Mexican Grey wolves are. Such a shame...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't see where this stamp states about Mexican wolves they are not part of the grey wolf genome either.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
no but it just seems like they are.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
How? Their population is basically 'booming' after being "reintroduced" a good bit ago.

Common names are confusing. Also, taking a species that covers the globe as a whole is confusing. Let's start there.
-Yes. The "gray wolf" has lost its Endangered Species status in America. Canis lupus is not endangered, and is classified as a species of "Least Concern" by the IUCN. This is the species taken as a whole, including all animals worldwide.
-However. There are many well supported subspecies of Canis lupus worldwide -- such as Canis lupus arabs, Canis lupus baileyi, Canis lupus crassodon, etc. -- which are in fact threatened, endangered, or critically endangered. Certain wolves at the subspecies level are endangered, and wolves are certainly "endangered" at the local population level. So while Yellowstone and Alaskan wolves may be doing very well, many populations worldwide are not.
Sooo. I don't disagree...just saying, for clarity's sake.

Dear God, I bet you get a lot of wolfaboos here.

People want to protect wolves because they are "beautiful" and "rare." How about supporting an animal that actually NEEDS to be protected?

Survival of the fittest. Even if they do go extinct it just means the could not adapt and thus fail in the battle for survival.

Why do people say "Oh well, they might not be endangered, but there is only -insert number here- wolves in my area! " What if the wolf is not native to your area, or that the area is not a great place for a wolf to stay?
JEEZUS PEOPLE!

I love wolves but you're right. They. Are. Not. Endangered. (Not the gray ones anyway.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Wolves have never been endangered. Wolves will never be endangered. End of discussion.
Save the coyotes.

omg omg omg how can you not like coyote they so cute kawaii desu!
Nah, just kidding. I don't really care.

Lawl yay for no Coyoteaboo! :3

Well, actually there are some wolf species that are endangered.
And Grey wolves were SLIGHTLY endangered a few years ago. Not now.
I'm anti-wolfaboo, too. I'm just pointing out the facts
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They are in danger, yes, but I, being anti-wolfaboo, think that we should not be making such a big deal about feral animals.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You never actually said anything about that.
And if you think that, then why'd you say 'save the coyotes'?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That is true. I should be less vague next time. Anyways, my friends like to go hunting, and one of their hobbies is shooting coyotes. Coyotes aren't in danger of becoming extinct, but I have a coydog, so I tend to sympathize with them.
