There is no record that an AMERICAN wolf has ever killed a human being. As you show in the above statement there is no source of food in India so the Asian wolves are forced to feed on whatever they can catch. Sadly that includes humans. People in the USA have passed on their fear of wolves through the generations, telling horror story after horror story when if they would try to understand the animal and give it the respect it deserves perhaps their understanding would change the fear we all would have if we were to hear one howling in the dark. Sharks kill humans, should we force it into extinction? Alligators kill humans, should we force it into extinction? Grizzly bears kill humans, is there no place in our world for them? It's not up to us. It's all about proper management. PS. Humans kill humans every day. Perhaps we should force them into extinction as well. Renee
