now I love wolves they are one of my favorite animals. Elegant, ruthless, and perfect pack hunters. However like any predator humans need to hunt them and thin them out. Not only so that they don’t over stress their hunting grounds and starve to death but also so that they don’t see humans as prey and learn to avoid us.

You don’t hunt them and they lose their fear of humans and an unarmed child or even an adult isn’t a match for a pack of hungry wolves.

Yes, I like them myself. I have only seen one once in the wilds when I was working in the westernmost extent of the Brooks Range in Alaska. I was sitting on the banks of a small stream taking a break and watching a cariboo walk across the stream. It got half way across the river and bolted back the way it came from. From out of the brush on the other side of the stream loped a big wolf. He glanced over at me and went right back into the brush. I knew right then I was not the top predator in the area!
