Although Wolves are beautiful creatures... people also need to remember that they are apex predators hence, they tend to be extremely vicious creatures.

Wolves generally do not attack humans however, it does happen. These reasons can range from predatory, agonistic, rabid and defensive. There are not many attacks in Modern America, however that is due to the extirpation of wolves in reaction to attacks in the past. This has given wolves the ability to avoid human contact. There are only about eight fatal attacks in the us recorded in the past decade. This is not because wolves are not dangerous, scientists speculate that this is because they are far more intelligent than most other dangerous animals and they know that attacking a human will result in serious consequences. Although, very few attacks have happened over the years… the ones that did caused serious damage and perhaps death to its victim. Native Americans were frequently killed by wolves pre-colombus, in fact wolves would often follow American hunters to feed off their kills but after guns were introduced, a fear of humans was instilled in wolves causing them to be very shy of human interaction.
