Man hates the grey wolf. The gray wolf is one of the few animal's that has been hunted near extinction, by the 1930's few wolves remained. They have been hunted for a variety of reasons, from protecting live stock, to clearing the forests of a competitive predator for prey animals.
Only a couple of isolated populations of the gray wolf are endangered, the Mexican, and Ethiopian. As a species, the gray wolf is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN.
IT is ENDANGERED BECAUSE it is turned into stuffed wolf dolls for little kids
Wolves have always been persecuted by humans, and many subspecies have been hunted to the brink of extinction. Wolves competed with early humans for prey, and sometimes kill livestock, which leads to conflicts.
Well I think it is because people kill them for their fur.
Grey wolves are not considered endangerd in a over all status. They are actually one of the most common wolves. They are nick named the common wolf. Though many other wolves are. Mostly this is do to human invasion.
The gray wolf is not as endangered as it was in 1974 because their were only 500 wolves. Now is there is about 5,773 wolves. The gray wolf is not considered endangered anymore.
Because some stupid humans decided that wolves were bad somewhere back in Europe before Columbus. So they would go out and kill wolves. When Western Civilazation began, the people there had also brought along those myths of wolves, so they killed them there too. Later on, the grey wolf was put on the Endangered Species List, and were protected. But now, people in states such as Alaska, Utah, Idaho, and Montana shoot wolves, gas pups in dens, sterilize alphas, poison wolves, and skin them. I hope that any one reading this will help stop the slaughter!
Yes, it is critically endangered

∙ 6y agoDuring the times when colonists first came to America, the colonists reconized this animal as a danger to their livestock, and also believed they were demonic. They hunted them off, nearly to extinction. Their fur was in high demand, as well. Finally, laws were passed to stop the mass killing of wolves. The only remaining state in the contigious part of the United States which still has a population of wild grey wolves is Minnesota.
Actually, several states have gray wolf populations. Michigan, Wisconsin, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Montana, Arizona, Wyoming, New Mexico.
There are over 6000 animals in these populations.

∙ 13y agoSince the wolf has few natural enemies, the reason for its endangerment status is due to human related problems. Man has encroached upon its territory until the wolf has retreated to only the most wild areas on our continent. The loss of habitat has directly affected the numbers of wolves seen in the lower 48 states of America. The wolf is the only animal that has ever been hunted year-round in every national park in the United States.
