Wolves

The big bad wolf eats the poor Littre pig or chases Littre Red Riding Hood. The young hunter comes along and – Bang! – the wolf is dead. Unfortumately in some parts of the world there are no more wolves living in the wild. And all because the wolf has traditionally been seen as an evil enemy. In fact this misunderstood animal has many virtues. Wolves are superb hunters. They prefer hunting wild animals to domestic ones. They do not over-populate but keep their numbers at the level they can feed. As for killing people conservationists insist that this is simply not true. There plans to bring wolves back to the wild areas of Scotland but local people have doubts about the idea. The government has announced that it woll pay for any farm animal killed by wolves.
