If wolf is your true spirit animal/totem, you would never want to hurt one. Fur, claws, teeth, and bones from a wolf are unacceptable. The wolf is killed for those parts brutally. Why in America it's considered wrong to wear dog fur boots, yet some wouldn't think twice about wearing wolf fur or claws because the wolf is their favorite animal? Doesn't make sense.
