Jeff,
I am not certain how I feel about wolves. Seems there is more mis-information than true information. I did thoroughly investigate the human risk from wolves. There has never been a wolf kill of a human in the United States. Mountain lions, brown and grizzly bear yes but never by a wolf.

There has never been a wolf kill of a human in the United States. Mountain lions, brown and grizzly bear yes but never by a wolf.

Coyotes and wild dogs have killed humans, toddlers in particular. Thus, it is only a matter of time before a wolf kills a human.

In the meantime, wolves readily make a meal of livestock -- lambs, calves, etc. Are you ambiguous as well about the interests of farmers and ranchers?

“There has never been a wolf kill of a human in the United States.”

Horsepucky! A couple of years ago, wolves killed and partially ate a female school teacher jogging outside a native village on the Alaskan peninsula. The pack had been harrassing the villagers for weeks. AFTERWARD, state troopers brought in a helo and hunted them down. There were other scattered close calls around the state.

rickk, I believe there have been humans killed by wolves. Not many very recently at all, but certainly more during our pioneer days and prior to that. To say that there have never been any...well "never" is far too all incusive IMHO.

I can tell you that the info above is true and not misinformation.

I know up in the high country here earlier in the year several wolves were stalking two children waiting at a rural bus stop. A resident noticed it and came down in their vehicle and picked those children up. The woman in the above story was in the process of being attacked when she klilled the wolf.

Wolves are a problem and a danger. They have been reintroduced...and not even the wolves native to this part of the country...and once again we are finding why our forefathers eradicated them from close proximity to their dwelling places.
