Why should you save the gray wolves?

Back a long time ago, a bounty was put on wolves to stop them from killing cattle. If you killed a wolf and brought in its ear, you would be paid. Red Wolves were heavily targetted. They are now extinct in many states. I'm not quite sure if there are any still around. It is important to save the wolves because so many of them have already been wiped out. Whether it be for their fur or because of them hunting livestock, wolves are seen as an enemy to man, while we are the true enemy to them.
