Chignik Lake is in very rural Alaska (The Bush) - the village has been surrounded by a large wolf pack for some time. The woman killed (at <149 CM and under 50Kg) was a local special Ed teacher out running on a gravel road - wearing her iPod and not a 357 Mag.....

She didn't stand a chance, 3 or more 70 kg wolves attacked from behind. The autopsy showed she was still alive as the pack dragged her from the road to begin eating.

Another reason to 'dislike' the Greenies that love to tell Alaskans how to run the State. The Troopers are sending a chopper to "thin out" the wolf packs.

“the village has been surrounded by a large wolf pack for some time”

I recommend a full spread of depth charges.

Does anyone still wonder why when Sarah Palin was Governor they hunted these creatures with airplanes?

What’s coming down the Range. It’s going to be interesting.

you mean those cute cuddly little ‘ol wolves that the left keeps trying to “save” from us big bad animal hating right?

Man Horrible they need to do some serious thinning on the wolves, they will learn quick that humans are a very bad thing to get close too.

As long as guns are commonly carried wolves are smart enough to avoid humans. I imagine that these wolves have now learned that humans are easy prey.

It's a mistake to think that wild animals are going to cut us any slack simply because we are human, nature doesn't work that way. Our big brain doesn't impress a predator one damned bit but you can teach them what the smell of powder residue in a gun barrel means.

Predators can learn more about you from your smell than most people even vaguely understand.

I bred and hunted with Beagles for years, the things they could pick up with their sense of smell was mind boggling. You have to experience it to believe it.

Why does Sarah Palin support shooting wolves in Alaska?

Snip: "I am outraged by Sarah Palin's promotion of this cruel, unscientific and senseless practice, which has no place in modern America," actress and animal activist Ashley Judd said in a press release. "Because she is apparently determined to continue and expand this horrific program, I am grateful that Defenders will aggressively fight to stop her. I am proud to be a part of that effort."

She stood "about 4 feet 11 inches tall" according to an ADN article.
