   This article talks about wolves and hunting them.  The author makes it clear that people should stop hunting wolves because it can lead to a lot of problems.  If people starting hunting wolves and they kill the alpha animal then the pack may turn towards domestic livestock for their food.  Many farmers and owners of domestic livestock will be very upset because they will be losing their livestock and also losing money.  We do not have a good reason in this day in age to hunt wolves.  Wolves are not dangerous animals if you leave them alone but if they feel threatened they may attack.  I will never hunt wolves because it will cause too many problems down the road for people with domestic livestock.  I feel like the government should not allow people to hunt wolves anymore because there are way more negatives than positives.  If you like hunting then there are many other animals you can hunt besides wolves.  This article really showed me that hunting wolves is not right because the pack may turn towards domestic livestock for their food.
