According to the professor of Arizona State University named Wyne, most of the wolves do not act that friendly as the ones that live in their sanctuary. Still, with patience and a little hard skill, these wild animals can be raised in a manner where they can act friendly towards humans.

A professor says, “People still need to have some due diligence before they take the word of sanctuary that their animals are friendly.”

Wyne also said that wolves only do OK in the regions of the world where the humans are in sparse such as Canada, Siberia, and Alaska.

As for the other areas of the world where there is lots of human population, wolves are currently in dire situations and they need to have protection from the people.

This wolves’ sanctuary lies in the middle of Seattle and Vancouver.
