A Haines woman beat back a wolf with a ski pole but was unable to keep it from killing and devouring one of four dogs she was walking with during a midday ordeal near 40 Mile Haines Highway.

It logically fits right in there somewhere between the apparent extended telepathic exchange she had with the wolf and poor Mason being devoured.
1. Wolves are not dogs. They are related, but ALL wild.
2. If thst was my dog attacked....click ..click..boom.
I think sanctions are called for.
If a wolf killed our lab my wife would kick open the gates of hell to kill it.
Or even a couple of 100 pound Dobermans or German Shepherds. Wolf would of backed off fast. What’s she walking in Alaska. ..Chiwawawas?
But it seems to me that while she is free to collect a 2014 Darwin Award for herself -- and may it come soon -- her dogs have every right to expect her protection; I have little doubt that they would be willing to protect her. In exchange for their loyalty they get to be designated wolf-vittles by this "courageous" moron. Wow. Hopefully she's been spayed.
A husky-lab-rottweiler mix was the dog killed, but it was 16 years old.
It almost brought me to tears. My dog would do ANYTHING for me. I dogsitfor my neighbor. His golden thinks my property is her territory and ‘greets’ me accordingly (jump lick lick). That dog is family as well and would give her life to protect me. Knowing that , would I dispatch a wolf that invades? Damn right I would. Legal or not.
:-(
I like dogs. I bet this poor dog went out fighting to the death to protect her owner.
All the right reasons to own an M1A with either a green laser illuminator (Cabelas) thats basically a long range very tight beam light, or a thermal scope (very expensive)loaded with 150gr Barnes Triple shocks in a 20 round mag.
get yourself up in a tree cache (tree stand, hunter stand etc) at least 25 feet up in something a brownie cannot pull down or a blackie cannot climb, have a 15 lb propane tank and a heater or haul some batteries in and use some heated clothing.
use bait, yeah thats where you need to be imaginative.
Read all about those feral hog hunters down south and just adapt for the environment. I have lost several of my cats over the years, some I suspect to eagles, some I suspect to a fox or wolf. I have no love for wolves here in Alaska, maybe way out on the northern range yes, but not in my neighborhood.
Wow! What an incredibly stupid woman.
Reminds me of that moron that became grizzly bear poop.
She loves the wolf more than she loved the dog who died for her. This is not compassion, it is cowardice.
LOL!!!
I live in northern Idaho. I do not take my little dog out without the shotgun. Wolves DO attack during the day. The hunts here have not even scratched the surface of the wolf overpopulation problem here.
I hear it is not as bad as in the far southwest, AZ or NM? Kids have to wait in cages for the school bus.
General rule is- SSS. I hope the grizzlies keep ignoring our property. Still, I prepare for it occurring. Luckily, they are not attracted to a garden surrounded by tobacco plants. (laughing... )

I would send my expensive cordless, long distance, hole makers :
.
“Schirroco 180grain .308”
Or
.
“ Hornady 300 Whisper® A-Max® .308 Remington 208-Grain
“
I love my dogs and care about them so much, only the best will do for them.
Besides, they’re babies and probably couldn’t fend for themselves.
That’s what I’m for.... I Would Go “Medieval” on that bass tuhrd”.
To be fair; “I did outrun him”.
Wrap a stainless steel brillo pad, you know the real coarse one of coils in several layers of intestine or sausage wrap with some meat, freeze it and then use your imagination, I was told to some extent works much like taking a long sliver of cartilage and wrapping it around moose or caribou meat, make a frozen ball, bear or wolf guzzles it down and the cartilage rips out their intestines thats what the local natives use out in the Alaska bush.
Werx fer me!
“...still has compassion for the lone, starving wolf.”
If she REALLY had compassion for the would have fed her other dogs to it as well. I mean, it was STARVING. Like the Good Book says, “if a wolf eats your Newfie, give it your Lab as well.”
