No! They take care of them until they're the age where they can live on their own, then they leave them.

The above is Untrue, like Most Mammals Wolves will eat their own young depending on Pack Size and food availability, and to add a further note wolves are a Social Animal and do not leave the Pack until they are too old to hunt, then they simply wonder off alone finding a place to take their final rest.

When hunting large prey such as moose or elk, wolves kill their prey by eating it alive. They rip off chunks of meat off the prey to bring out the prey's weakness: their intestines. Unlike felines like Leopards & Mountain Lions, Wolves' teeth are not long enough to deliver throat bites. That's why they have to eat their large prey alive. But when hunting small prey like rodents, Wolves may kill them.

Spotted Hyenas and African Wild Dogs kill their prey the same way.

I heard they do when in time of starvation, because if there is no food and they die they can not make more pups, but if they live then they can make more pups.
