Reminds me of that jack-wipe who used to mess around with bears until one ate him.

Packs of feral dogs are far more dangerous to humans than most wolf packs.

Timothy Treadwell. He also brought his girlfriend with him who became bear food as well.

At least this was at a zoo in Norway. I still don't condone it. I wouldn't want to see a pretty lady get eaten like that.

My thoughts exactly. Animal can be domesticated, tame, or habituated. Only domesticated predators are “safe” for humans to be around and the process takes many generations of selective breeding. Tame animals can be docile for years but their wild instincts can re-assert themselves at any moment without warning (ask all the victims of tame chimp attacks) and animals like these wolves that have merely become habituated to the presence of a human, and don’t accept her as a dominant pack member? A tragedy waiting to happen

Not really. You can’t socialize with a bear the same as a pack of wolves. Bears are solitary mostly and they can’t grow up with you in a pack as there are no bear packs. Anything else that is a pack animal it can be possible. Geese, wild turkeys, etc can all accept a person to a degree as one of their own.
