Quote 2

In the battle of human versus wolf, the human always comes out as top dog. Human activity, hunting, and trapping put gray wolves on the U.S. endangered species list. Wildlife advocates say that could happen again unless the species remains protected. The gray wolf population still isn't large enough, wildlife advocates argue, to recover from harsh winters or disease if humans threaten it too. "Simply restoring a certain 'magic number' of wolves to a region may not be enough," the Humane Society of the United States says.  There are plenty of nonlethal ways to control the wolf population and protect livestock. Wildlife advocates prefer relocation, neutering and spaying, and fences to state plans that include commercial wolf hunting and poisoning pups.

This article is about how humans go about dealing with the gray wolves population. The grey wolf  are endangered because they are being hunted. The Wildlife advocates says this can happen agaon if the wolves get put into protection.
