Unless they have rabies, wolves are not dangerous. You have watched one too many disney movies.

I disagree. Back up your assertion, please. As a varmiter I can tell you that feral dog packs are very dangerous to people. This is well documented throughout the south by surveyers and others working the timber stands. And you are going to tell me that wolf packs are not a threat to humans? I want to see some evidence.

I tried to google it, but was unsuccessful in a brief attempt. This is what I remember: Isaak Asimov (sp?) used to publish books on scientific facts. One I remember is almost verbatim: There has never been a documented case of a non-rabid wolf killing a human.

In the 25 years since I read that, I would have definately remembered a news account or other account of a real wolf killing (other than the fantasy Beauty and the Beast variety). True, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, but at least it is not well-known that they are human-killers. On the other hand, I have heard of numerous bear and mountain lion fatal attack stories.
