People should, yes, be more concerned about the security of endangered or almost extinct animals more than the grey wolf (canis lupus), which, as said before, is part of the Least Concern list. However, grey wolves shouldn't be hunted illegally (poaching). Wolves should not be hunted on protected land (i.e. Yellowstone National Park), or when it is not allowed (normally around spring, summer, or autumn. Hunting season for wolves is around winter, and hunters are only allowed to kill 5 wolves according to law).
Many people still need to learn that wolves are NOT the only animal in the world that "need protection". There are animals more important like bobcats, tigers, some foxes, etc. There are types of wolves that DO need protection. For example, as said before, the Ethiopian wolf (canis simensis).
I just want to add this other thing in here real quick because I saw somebody above that said something about the maned and red wolf. I don't want to sound rude at all, but the maned and red wolf aren't actually "wolves". The red wolf (canis lupus rufus) was found to be more related to the coyote than the wolf, and, well, the maned wolf (chrysocyon brachyurus), was never a wolf.
The maned wolf is close relatives with the fox, and it is the largest canid in South America. They get their name from the blackish-grayish mane on their backs (obviously), and they look like they are walking on "stilts" due to their long legs.
Whew, I don't normally type that much. I'm done now. I need to rest my hand. ^^
