Don't forget that it is largely depend on people and their intentions too. Animals aren't stupid... especially wolves. I am a wolf lover and I hanged around with 'tamed' wolves at my friends' place time to time (he is their certificated caretaker and breeder to protect the wolves from immoral hunters). To my understanding that wolves are able to read the people very well. I mean, they can tell that people are 'good' or 'bad' but not always though. Huge thanks to Tom Brown Jr for his wonderful knowledges about many things included wolves.
I met wild wolves few times in the past (while in camping, hiking, etc) and they 'granted' me the permissions to pet them. I plan to live along with wolves someday for 6 months or longer to study them more. Like dolphins, wolves are way more civilized than humans ever can be. I fell in love with wolves and their sophisticated family/social structure.
Under current Admin, hunting of wolves are soaring and they can be extinct within 5 years or so. That made me pissed off... In one of Native American books, Native American once said, "Treat wolves with evil intentions and the mother earth spirit shall smash the evil doers or make them suffer". I hope so!
