Argumentative Essay: Should The Gray Wolf Be Hunted?

Should the Gray wolf be taken off the endangered species list and should they be allowed to be hunted like the common coyote? Scientific evidence does not suggest that wolves should be hunted in Michigan. Moreover, every reason that has been offered for why we should allow wolf hunting is misguided. They are hunted in areas where they have become highly populated for example in areas such as Montana and Idaho because their numbers have increased over 5000 they are killing off the deer and elk population. By controlling the wolf inhabitants it would insure that the wolf does not starve because they ate all their prey.
The first case of wild healthy wolves killing a human in modern North America occurred in Saskatchewan in 2005; a second
Most U.S. wolves south of Alaska are in the northern Rockies (Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming) and the Lake States (Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan), and they’ve already been delisted.
In the years since the wolf reintroduction, Yellowstone has become a premiere scientific laboratory for wilderness observation and ecosystem recovery. Scientists have come from around the world to watch the effect wild wolves have on the park. We have discovered that an ecological effect called the “trophic cascade” has taken over Yellowstone, with the wolves initiating a more natural ecosystem balance than has been seen in over sixty-five years.
Is it possible the wolves made a change in the environment when they were almost completely wiped-out? Did reintroducing them back into existence turn the fate of the ecosystem around? Sure it is possible it happened that way. And while we are at it why don’t we bring back the Mammoths they were here before us, or better yet their closest cousin the elephant and let’s see what kind of change that makes to the ecosystem. It is my opinion that wolvers are ready to be placed on the fair game list to control their increase in
