The Big Bad Wolf?

Wolves are cute lovable creatures and are majestic and fluffy. Wolves are not bad and actually help things like vegetation by eating and pushing away the animals that eat too much of it. This is called a trophic cascade.

Wolves have a bad side at times though. In the 1930 wolves were eradicated in France because they were killing shepherds sheep and other livestock.

Overall I think that wolves are a good thing for the earth and that if they weren’t alive that the earth would look a lot different to today.

Do you think that wolves deserve the title of the big bad wolf?

    Your post offers an interesting conundrum; wolves that are dangerous and kill livestock vs wolves that control pests and allow vegetation to grow. It is a challenge for humans. Do you think that our need to farm and make money from land and livestock mean that we should eradicate another species?

    I really like the shape you used for your word art. It supports your idea that wolves are a cute, loveable creature. Personally I don't think I'd find them that cute if I was to meet one in the wild. What do you think?

    Keep up the great learning and blogging,

    I think that yes maybe Wolfs have caused horrible things in France but what they did to Yellowstone National Park was Extraordinary so I personal think they are the Cute Fluffy Wolf not the Big Bad Wolf!!!
