Wolves "losing a fear of humans" have people in Anchorage, Alaska, fearfully asking officials for action, authorities say.

Although many people are lured to Alaska for its wilderness and many choose to reside either in a wilderness setting or close to it, when the wild things come into their back yards, they get jittery as one resident became when a pet beagle was allegedly dragged into the woods by wolves, the Anchorage Daily News reported.

"I really hope that an action plan to eliminate this problem will be acted upon before another pet -- or God forbid, a child -- is killed," Candis Olmstead wrote in a letter to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.

Everything is up to the government to solve. God forbid people should start shooting the transgressing wolves, which might have the unintended consequence of reintroducing some fear of humans into the remaining wolves. Nope, can’t have that.

Wolves don’t fear humans. Get near one and he’ll bare his teeth for you.

Yes. there is a plan of action.

1. Get a gun.

2. Practice with it.

3. Shoot wolves on sight.

I believe the Animal Attacks on humans and the fear they are loosing is a Bible Prophecy..

The Opening of the 4th Seal.

Revelation6:7

When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” 8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

People have to start shooting them on sight, install a little fear back into them.

Here's a piece about a man treed by a small pack in Michigan.

Mattson treed by pack of wolves
