I read where the wolfs were granted protection 30 years ago.
If this site was
current, 30 years ago would be 1972. I think that the wolves
should be placed
under this protection because people stereotype wolves. They
think that all
wolves are mean and harmful then, try to wipe out the population.
Really,
wiping out the population of wolves, or any animal, will cause
more problems
such as problems in the food chain. If one animal eats a wolf,
that animal
would be out of food. Another animal is eaten by a wolf, causing
an over
population of rabbits, ect. As you can see the wolf protection
act was a very
good idea.

Thirty years ago wolves were granted protection
under the federal Endangered Species Act.I think
this was neccesary because if they hadn't there
probably wouldn't be any wolves today, at all.

Thirty years ago, wolves were granted protection under the
federal
Endangered Species Act.
I believe that placing the wolves under the federal Endangered
Species Act
was necessary in protecting their lives. If they were not
protected, then
they would be extinct, and our children would not be able
to learn about the
lives of the wolves in their habit in the Great Lakes Reigon.

In 1978 the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service had changed the
way it listed
wolves as endangered. All remaining wolves in the 48 contiguous
states were
listed, rather than the individual subspecies. Regardless
of subspecies,
wolves anywhere in the 48 states were on the list.
34 years ago all wolfs in the lower 48 states were put onto
the endangered
species list.
I think that it was a good idea to put the wolves on the list
because with
all of the new subdivisions that are being built many animals
are being
pushed out of their natural homes. The wolves need homes that
are protected,
since they were put on the list their homes are insured. The
wolves can now
live their eternity on their own protected land.

The timber wolves were granted protection under the Federal
Endangered
Species Act 30 years ago. I think this was necessary because
every species
in the world has some advantages to the environment and if
they are extinct
there will be problems in that area. Every living thing is
important to the
environment and I think its was very important that they were
actully
protected and their number has increased.

The Endangered Species Act (1973) was meant to protect the
gray wolf from becoming extinct, but it also has caused problems
for farmers. The farmers complain that reintroducing wolves
into the wild is a danger to their livestock. I tend to agree
since the point is not to breed too many so that they are
released causing havoc for the farmers, but to have just the
right number so that the breed deosnot die out.
