Wolves only do it at home

In reply to the letter from Jane Wiltshire (Sand worms are a real danger on the beach, November 22)  about the wolves on the beach regarding sand worms. Firstly sand worms are more commonly found in cat faeces than in that of dogs.
Secondly, there has never been a recorded case of wolves with sand worms and, thirdly and most importantly, wolves use only one area to do their business, which would be close to their dens or sleeping area, in this case their enclosure. They will hold it until they feel safe to excrete in a known environment. They behave like this so as to limit detection of their presence in an area by prey and other predators.
Therefore they will never defecate on the beach unless they spend a few consecutive days on that same beach.
