People fear wolves. While some of their fear is sensible, wolves actually have more to fear from people than people do from wolves. Although wolves are strong and fierce, wolf attacks on humans are very rare. In nearly all cases, they occur only when people provoke or corner wolves. People, on the other hand, have regularly baited and trapped wolves from the earliest of times. For various reasons, farmers, ranchers, and trappers in North America have all sought to reduce the wolf population. By 1950, there were almost no wolves left in the United States. Finally, in 1974, Congress granted gray wolves a protected status.

Your response does not make sense. Please provide a relevant answer to the question.
The author uses the fact that wolf attacks on humans are very rare and mostly occur when people provoke or corner wolves as evidence to support the idea that wolves have more to fear from people. This evidence is helpful because it shows that human behavior is often the cause of wolf attacks, emphasizing the role of human actions in threatening wolves.

Congress granted gray wolves protected status
According to the passage, "wolves rarely attack humans; in most cases, the human provokes or confounds the wolf." (this is what I used just reword it)
