They're dangerous to other animals.

Wolves primarily eat meat. Their favourite prey is large ungulates (hoofed mammals) such as deer, elk, moose, caribou, and bison. Since many of these animals are larger than wolves, the only way wolves can catch them is to live and hunt in groups.

Mind you, if a pack came towards me, I wouldn't be thinking how glad I am not to be an ungulate.
