NRPS are cautioning the public to be aware of their personal safety and that of their pets.
Gavin also said the public are strongly encouraged to not go looking for the wolf since forcing an interaction could cause a negative outcome.
“Pressuring the wolf could also cause it to run, making its capture more difficult,” Gavin said.
Anyone who may see the wolf is asked to contact their local Niagara SPCA or Niagara Regional Police.
