The Big Bad Wolf (Written For Jared's Acrostic2 Contest)

The Big Bad Wolf

There is a widespread feeling.
Hatred misplaced on wolves
Every time a sheep is killed.
 
But wild dogs are usually at fault.
It does not seem to matter, though.
Guns are grabbed. 

Boiled temperaments engaged. 
And off “wolf-hunting” they go.
Disaster looms due to fears.
 
Wolves love living
Overjoyed pups play.
Laughing with their pack…loyal.
Families hunted, by man endangered.
