He was completely invested in the "Big Bad Wolf" fallacy.
Wolves, in and of themselves, are not good or evil. Like any predator, they kill what they can and eat it. However, wolves will hunt you and make a meal of you, if otherwise easier prey is not available.
J.R.R Tolkien is probably basing the wolves of LOTRO on the Dire Wolf, a larger and more aggressive wolf.
Where have I seen wolves? Alaska, Western and northwestern Canada, Wyoming, and Montana.
