The logic is inescapable to anyone versed in logic.
To my knowlege no documented wolf attack on a human exists, but as I said in my post, until very recently wolves were shot on sight. Being a smart animal, they reacted logically and ran away from humans the minute they spotted humans. That was the status quo since humans began recording history; wolf kills Farmer's chicken, Farmer reacts with deadly force. Wolf reacts by running away from Farmer trying to kill wolf.
Today the equation has changed. Wolf kills chicken, no response from Farmer who doesn't want to tangle with the MDNR. The result? Wolf is not afraid anymore and snatches Dachshund from a backyard in which small children also play.
The first key question here is why the wolf did what it did, and the answer is simple. It is a wolf. It was hungry.
The second key question is whether or not a hungry wolf can discern between a dachshund and a small child. I maintain that it cannot, and being a carnivore, a wolf attack on a small child is imminent. Bears are also carnivores, and bear attacks on humans are well documented.
Why anyone would apply logic to the possibility of a carnivore attacking someone made out of meat, and coming to the conclusion that the carnivore wouldn't do so, exhibits a total lack of logic and critical thinking skills.
Some of the problem is this..
The remains of a person is found. What killed him/her? Bear ? wolverine? Did a wolf actually kill the victim or just feed on the kill?
The 'authorities' can't or won't attribute the kill to a wolf. Hence, no documented case.
Dear Yooper
There is a well published case of a wolf grabbing a sleeping child by the face and trying to drag it out of the tent. The boy's father managed to get the wolf to release the boy and leave.
But the boy was a major surgical challenge.
That case was in Readers Digest, so no AgencyPerson has any excuse to claim they "didn't know". All they had to do was take their face out of the Enquirer for a monent or two.
Or stop drooling over the cover girls on the mags and take a moment to acquire some hard data.
Next time anyone sees something like that "no wolf attacks on humans" like what Disney had on screen at the end of Dances With Wolves, just remember that Disney brought us Bambi, the fire, and generations of fire management ala Disney. Think Yellowstone fire. Think Disney's Bambi legacy.
Think HollyWeird BS!
