What do wolves do that is bad?

Answer 1

wolves can kill livestock and ungulates. they are good because they create a ecology of fear for the elk and deer, who stop eating in one location, and so there is more biodiversity. Because wolves have prevented deer and elk from eating certain plants, other species have thrived, like the beavers.

Answer 2

Wolves have a strong affect on nature. If wolves were gone ( wiped out by humans,) nature would be out of balance. The elk and caribou would over populate and eat all the grass they need. They would starve and die. How does this affect humans? If wolves were wiped out, the sick caribou would be hunted by hunters. The germs that made them sick would eventually get to the human consumer. They too would fall ill. They could die. The old, sick, and injured also wouldn't be put out of their misery of their suffering.

Answer 3

Wolves are predators.

• They will attack and eat Calves, Horses, dogs, cats, and just about any livestock a farmer can keep.
• Many people feel that the Wolves take Elk, Deer, Caribou and other game animals that could be taken and eaten by them.
• Wild wolves are neutral towards the player and spawn untamed in packs of 1-8, occasionally attacking nearby Sheep while roaming around.
• Aggravated wolves will attack any and all players in range. These wolves can be distinguished from their constant growling and appearance: the eyes become red and the contrast level of the fur increases, revealing dark patches of bristling hair and a mouth line raised in a slight snarl.

These were the justifications for hunting them to extinction in many places.

Answer 4

A wolf is an apex predator, and preys on both larger and smaller animals.

Killing a wolf can mean that the wolf's smaller prey (small mammals) may increase in number, and eat more of the vegetation in the area. It could mean that a less healthy larger animal (deer, moose) may propagate rather than being eaten, which could affect the ongoing genetic traits of that population. Most importantly, killing an adult wolf of mating age means that there are fewer wolves to continue the species, so the effect (reduced predation) could multiply over time.

Answer 5

Wolves are secondary consumers,they eat primary consumers,if wolves died out,there would be more primary consumers and they would eat too much plants.That's how important wolves are!

Answer 6

They can eat you.
