I never understood the abysmal idiots who wanted to repopulate these monsters in areas that humans frequented. Always shook my head at their stupidity. This is on them.

Wow, I hate to think what would have happened if the guy hadn’t help.

[rktman]

Good thing he had a firear-————— Oh.

Maybe I am naive, but who goes camping in the wilderness without a weapon.?

Whenever I go hiking, my black lab and my Ruger Redhawk .44 magnum go with me.

“’The Lakes in Alberta and BC are amazing, the mountains are dynamic, the wild life is (well you know),’ he wrote. ‘I’m sure I’ll be back some day but maybe in a camper van instead.’”

OMG! How can he still have a sense of humor after THAT ? But thank goodness he does, LOL!

How admirable of the parents protecting their young kids that way, too! “Take me! Spare my babies!”

How horrifying for that family. How many could even imagine that? Yikes!

And yet most animal activists will claim that wolves don’t attack people.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I remember when wolves were the “IN” creature back in the 1970s. They could do no wrong!

Honey, let’s go to Banff, I feel like being close to nature....

Canada is home to 60,000 wolves, the second-largest wolf population in the world after Russia, according to the International Wolf Center. But wolf-human encounters, especially those that result in injury or death, are infrequent, according to a 2002 report that examined 80 cases in Alaska and Canada over a roughly 60-year period. The case history found 41 incidents of people coming into contact with wolves in Canada. Of those, only four involved the animals attacking and seriously injuring people.

We have many fold the likelihood of being killed by illegals than wolves.

Bet they were eating something meaty and delicious-smelling and the wolf wanted some of it.

Anyone who has watched animal shows on TV for years have heard the environmentalists repeatedly say wolves have never attacked humans. /s

[Bommer]

That’s really odd for a wolf to do something like that. Normally you get a warning like “Little pig! Little pig! Let me in! Or I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your tent down!”

Meanwhile, as Fee ran toward the tent, carrying only the lantern his wife gave him, he devised a hasty plan.

"I just kind of kept running at it and I just kicked it . . . in the back hip area like I was kicking in a door," he said on the radio show. "I booted it as hard as I could."

The kick may not have done much physical damage, but Fee said it was enough to startle the wolf into letting Matt go. Then, the animal emerged from the tent and Fee said he "immediately regretted kicking it."

That "oh crap" moment when you realize you just pissed off a wolf and you're only carrying a Colman camp lantern.

Wolf did not like NJ types any more than the rest of us?

[DesertRhino]

Ok, I get that they can’t have guns up there. But who the hell sleeps in a tent without a K-bar or similar fighting knife?

Especially when it’s YOUR job to protect your wife and kids.

Just wait 'til the next full moon, lady.
