It's only a matter of time before the wolves kill somebody in Washington state, just like that jogger in Alaska last year. Perhaps wolves should be introduced along the border where they might enjoy spicy south of the border delicacies.

Just spent a fair amount of time researching this so thought I would share it here. Two people have been reported killed by wolves in the past 100 years in North America. Bear killed 59 people in the last 10 years. Cougars killed 11 in the past 10 years. Domestic dogs kill 20 to 30 every year
The 2010 kill in Alaska was originally reported as a bear killing, noting that wolf tracks were also in the area. The Alaska Fish and Game (which was under scrutiny for areal killing of wolves) then reported the killing to be by wolves.
I guess the moral of this story is that wolves are not much of a threat to humans.
