I’m not completely clear on why it’s so important to the family to have an official finding that their son was killed by a wolf, rather than by a bear. After all, he’s no less dead. Nevertheless, I hope they find comfort and closure in this act.

Wolves are not known to attack folks, unless they're incapacitated, the wolf is rabid, or they're being fed by human's(including garbage dumps). Athough they're not generally dangerous to people, the watermellons won't let folks defend themselves effectively against wolf attacks.
