introduction to canis lupus appearing in wolves and coyotes in ontario a new booklet jointly produced by the department of lands and forests fish and wildlife and research branches wolves have been much maligned the booklets writers agree but sometimes unjustly so recently attitudes have begun to change as people realize that wolves are not a threat to their personal safety and only rarely to their livestock there is no authenticated case of a timber wolf ever seriously harming a human in ontario or in north america for that matter the tact that workers who trap and tag live wolves find it unnecessary to drug the animal during tagging operations and never carry a firearm even though they frequently come into very close contact with the species demonstrates that they are not ferocious one attack on a human by a rabid animal has been re ported but the incidence of rabies among wolves is extremely rare a chapter of the 14page booklet deals with the coyote which uke the wolf is a member of the dog family however it is pointed out it is more narrowchested long erlagged and more slender in body than are most dogs the section on ecology and life history states that throughout most of their range in the province coyotes have caused relatively little damage either to wildlife or livestock and on the balance sheet they should be classed as beneficial to the economy notor ious
