Transcription: Some of the reasons given for slaughtering wolves are that they are savage to their prey and that the wolves will hunt deer and other prey to extinction. There are five major ways to kill wolves. One, denning. Dynamite is placed in the wolf den shortly after puppies are born. When the dynamite explodes, it kills the puppies. Since puppies are born once a year, killing the puppies reduces pack growth. When all of the adult wolves are dead, the pack will no longer exist.
