Why are wolves feared?

Answer 1

Wolves are feared because since they live in packs they can easily surround and destroy especially since they work together with a strategy. In some small town areas there were gray wolves that went through and killed just about everyone there so that is why wolves are feared.

ps: they are also considered the most social animal in the world.

Answer 2

The reason why wolves attack is because of the hunters. So now the wolves think that all humans are evil. And they'll do it to protect the cubs and the others in the pack. ---------------------------------------------------- Contrary to what is commonly thought, unprovoked wolf attacks have and do happen. Historically, two kinds of attack are known; rabid, and predatory. When rabid, a wolf is extremely dangerous, showing no fear or discrimination in its choice of victim. Rabid wolves are loners, and unless killed, usually die anyway after a fortnight. Predatory wolves are ordinary wolves which have for some reason or other lost their shyness and target humans as food. In these cases, the wolves usually limit themselves to attacking children or young women, rarely men. They travel in groups (unlike rabid wolves) and actually eat their victims, unlike rabid wolves which simply bite and run.
