Interesting Facts

HHHIn North America, wolves are found mostly in Alaska and Montana(?). The reason there are few in other states is because wolves were hunted and killed. Why? Because people believed they were a threat to livestock. People were cutting down so many trees where the wolves lived, that their preys population was slowly whittling down. Soon, food was so scarce, that wolves began raiding peoples cattle and livestock. Humans began to set out off to kill them. Wolves were also killed because people thought they would eat humans. That is ridiculous as there is no record of a healty wolf eating a human. Wolves were killed by hunters because they believed that the wolves were getting rid of all their game.
