Dangerous = Exposure to harm, risk or evil.

Saying wolves are dangerous to people is basically saying that they seek humans because they wish to harm them. A completely untrue statement. NO ANIMAL is dangerous to humans unless it feels threatened or cornered, in which case, it's the human making the animal feel threatened that is the real danger, not the animal itself. Even a 3 inch field mouse will attack if it is cornered; is that to say field mice are dangerous?

Animals aren't dangerous; it's the uneasy feeling they get from humans that make us think that they're dangerous. I don't blame them one bit for feeling that way.

Yeah, I can't think of any animal that's more misunderstood than wolves, which is a shame, because I've never seen a more beautiful or intelligent dog in my life. Here's something I learned that may help people stop putting such a bad rep on wolves: There has never been a recorded non-rabid wolf attack on a human. So basically, the only times so far when someone was attacked/killed by a wolf was because the wolf was rabid. One reason so many animals get a bad rep is probably from movies (ie:Jaws) that portray them as evil creatures.

It's pretty foolish how people are able to let something such as a movie or book that portrays non-human creatures as villians control their mind, yet those same people fail to recognize the most dangerous animal of all: the human being

Not all wolf hybrids are dangerous. >.> I met a very nice one before.

I absolutley adore wolves! ok. A lot of people say that their vicious wild animals, but that's not true at all! The hunters are the vicious ones! Killing them for no reason! Farmers too! They kill them just cuz they killed their stupid cow! I mean, here's an example: How many cows are in one state alone? About a million right? How many wolves are in one state alone? at the most 20! I rest my case...

Yes, i know many people who indeed love wolves. They are such courageous animals and i love them.

So have I.

I beleive that humans who think woves are evil should get a good lesson of spine crushing disipline.I AM NOT TRYING TO START A FLAME!

The things is, many of the people who hate wolves do not actually know that much about them. If they were more educated on the subject, then there would be less fear and ignorance.

Very true: I've been to a wolf sanctuary before; 16 wolves and wolf-dogs, if I remember correctly, and they were all nicer than any dogs I've ever met:

i love wolves and i'm a big ''fan'' of them i even studyieng(spelled?) them! and they're no harm they arent dangerous, and they are soo misunderstood, and if you watch them carefully you will see their love, and their nature, maybe this sounds like crap, but i really enyoy being with wolves, i travel many times in the year to Syria where i come from, and one of my friends have raised a whole wolf pack, 7 members, not as a human but as the alpha of this pack(he loves them too and is also studying them), and they were all cute and very good, i loved beieng with them moore than with dogs, and they're so inteligent! i don't know how theese beautifull creaures became this much misunderstood, i mean not even a bear is that much misunderstood, and they are moore aggressive than wolves

sorry i'm letting all this crap out, i just get mad thinking about it, i just think that wolves doesn't deserve this

I don't see anything wrong with this "crap".I also enjoy being around wolves.

sorry, it's just the other forums hated when i talked about wolves that's why i called id '' crap''

I was watching animal planet and wolves are the number one moist understood animal.Stupid people who think they know everything diside to go out and give them a horrible name.Wolves are proved to be some off the most caring animals in the planet and are scared of humans.But Some Idiot never fails to bagg on them!

Some people do misunderstand wolves, but there are also a lot of people (myself included) that know that they aren't out to get us. While wolves aren't dangerous, they are still wild animals, and play by a different set of rules than us. 99% of the time they will run away from us, but if they feel cornered/trapped, they may try to defend themselves. In short, they are "mostly harmless".
