D.
Wolves have caused much more damage than bears have.
Wisconsin had completely eradicated its wolf population by the mid-1950s due
to hunting and habitat loss. The return of some wolf populations was largely due to
the federal government's decision to list the wolf as an endangered species, which
provided legal protections and conservation efforts. To improve tolerance of wolves
among local communities, increased education about wolf behavior was seen as more
effective than compensation or fencing, as understanding reduces fear. One significant
conclusion from studies showed that people’s fear of wolf attacks often outweighs any
monetary compensation they receive for losses. Lastly, the statement that there is no
record of a wolf attacking and harming a human is true, and it emphasizes how these
fears are often not based on actual events but rather on misconceptions.
