Lewis said the 100-pound Great Pyrenees was no match for the wolf, which injured a second guard dog in the same attack. The other dog was missing for several days but turned up Wednesday nursing injuries from the attack..
Officials say wolves are becoming a problem in northern Utah for the first time since the 1930s. Among other recent attacks was a wolf that killed two calves, and a wolf that attacked livestock in northern Utah's Cache County in July.

You could put wolves between double fences on the border. It would put the left in a quandry. Do they support wolves eating and reproducing OR do they support illegal immigrants? Stroke medicine for sure!
Too true. It’s because leftists get their sense of masculinity from vicarious violence.
I wonder how a Ridgeback would do against wolves? They were bred to hunt lions.
our pyre has been unemployed for a few years and has taken to getting the squirrels to safety as we motor away from the house. the neighbors cow dog came over one day and was annoying him, Bo picked up the austrailian sheppard with one paw and flipped him on his back and held it there until cow dog figured out he wasn’t any match..pyre’s do the least amount of effort it takes to solve the problem. i love that dog... he’s been great.
Our two Pyrenees are active night stalkers constantly on the move around the property. Somehow they have the ability to tell friend from foe. They are like a 4 legged doorbell if n when someone comes around.
what a great idea!
“....Wolf meetings held in rural areas of the involved states gave the public a chance to react to steps taken by the recovery team. One meeting held in Grangeville, Idaho, illustrates the amount of education needed before the rural public accepts the wolf reintroductions: “The superintendent of the local grade school set the tone by pleading with [Idaho Senator Larry] Craig to stop wolf recovery now. He pointed out that many of the local school bus stops were in remote areas, so local children might become wolf fodder” (Fischer 1995:53). But the facts are that there is not a single verified case of wolves ever harming a human in the wild in North America. Wolves try their best to stay away from humans. Even when wolf populations were high during the early years of the bounty programs, there were no verified cases of wolves ever harming humans. Even the young children who stole pups from dens, in some cases while the adult female was in the den with her pups, never suffered any harm. However the mythology surrounding wolves continues to be accepted as reality. Fearing wolves because of a concern for human safety illustrates the negative effects of wolf symbolism....” http://www.class.uidaho.edu/kpgeorge/issues/wolves_reintroduction/reintroduction_question.htm
I can see thinning the packs but that’s about all.
Time to do some marketing to those people having trouble with wolves. I’m sure she there is a market now! What is interesting about this breed is that they are very good with people and children but they don’t like other animals.
The truth is wolves are killing machines.
Remember the partially consumed body of 22-year-old Kenton Joel Carnegie in Saskatchewan ?
How would Ridgebacks do? In packs they do well against lions and probably the same with wolves.
I sure do and the people who say there's never been a confirmed wolf kill of a person in North America are either nuts or liars.
From post #49:

Here's a recent one.
I’d love to see a pic of that :-) It’s always the big bruisers who you find sacked out with a kitten curled up on their fuzzy side, you know?
“Children are the next item on that menu....”
If a wolf can take on two of those large dogs then even a human adult will have to worry.
Wolves are no joke, even an armed person might have problems due to pack attacks.
The people insisting on releasing these monsters in the south 48 are basically bullies and need to be dealt with as such.
“They were bred to hunt wolves.”
Much smaller Eurasian wolves...
