Wolves and people are kind of alike in ways. A pack of wolves acts kind of like a gang or a group of friends. Wolves have a different rankings for themselves. The leader of the pack is called the alpha male, second rank is alpha female. Then the beta, and then the omega, the one everyone takes their aggression on. The omega is still respected and is a big part of the pack. The leader decides who eats. There can be as many wolves in a pack as they want and they all have rankings.
People have rankings too, but just not as strict. Like the omega, people will pick on one certain friend and shove him around but he’s still your friend. Also there’s leaders and people that make the decisions. Then there are the ones in the middle. Gangs are very much like a pack; they have strict rules, and many people are scared of them and try to get rid of them. The same with wolves.
People want to kill off wolves. I think they’re very interesting, and I’d like to go up to the wolf center in Ely again sometime. I had a great time up there.
In conclusion I think the wolves should be left unharmed and I think people should try to understand more about gangs or groups of friends. See what it’s about before jumping to conclusions. I think it has a little bit to do with order and staying together and being there for your close friends.
