The Problem:

• Did you know that in 1995, there were only 3 wolf packs left in the wild? This is the result of wolf poaching.
• In 1918, 36 wolves were killed as a result of wolf poaching.
• The diminishing population of wolves is deeply affecting the American ecosystem.

• This is because if wolves died out, elk would take over, eat all the crops and die out (explained in detail in Impact on Environment)
• In 2011, there were 10 wolf packs in the wild.
• It was once five shillings for a dingo pelt-five shillings was equivalent to 90 US cents.
• Wolf pelts are worth around $250, but rare breeds or unique colour prices may go up to $800.
  
• Dingo poaching is becoming a sport as well as a economic activity-people killing animals because they can! :(
• Dingoes are killed horribly-they are killed by being shot at with clay balls (known as hazing)
• In 2010, there were 97 wolves left in the wild when the original population was 2 million
• We have to stop these creatures dying out-the ecosystem would collapse!

SO STOP EWC POACHING NOW!!!!!!!
