Teacher mauled by wolves

[Pathfinder1]

I usually don't trek very far,
when all around me wolves are.



According to today's Anchorage Times and a Tacoma newspaper, a woman teacher who was killed last year in southeast Alaska was...through DNA testing and investigation...found to have been killed by wolves.

Now What?

Even though this report is a year late, I am surprised they were able to report it as it fails to meet all the criteria for a wolf attack set by the fed biologists prior to the invasion oops reintroduction of the northern grey into the lower 48 states.

Reading the articles about this death was quite interesting. I particularly was fascinated by this statement.

"Biologists were able to identify the wolves involved through DNA evidence found at the scene, a first in investigations of fatal wolf-human encounters, according to the report.

Fish and Game writes that despite the findings, and outstanding questions, wolves are no more dangerous than they were prior to the attack, and people should not be unnecessarily fearful." December 06, 2011|By Ted Land | Channel 2 News, Anchorage

The first paragraph sort of shoots down the idea that wolves don't attack humans and weren't the wolves just as dangerous before the attack as after?

Nothing will happen- don't you know that the science is settled? Facts tending to disagree with that must be consigned to the memory hole immediately, as they are simply propaganda from Big err something -or other!

Wolves never attack humans, in fact they are nothing but big misunderstood babies. Just ask noted wolf expert Kevin Costner!

I believe that I read about another person...was it last winter?who was travelling home (or wherever) in the snow at night...and was stalked and killed by wolves? It was somewhere in North America.

Maybe those "urban legends" regarding wolves in Russia a hundred years ago were true? They allegedly killed...or tried to kill...humans...and the horses that were pulling their troikas?

Again, allegedly, Russia now has some extremely HUGE wolf packs roaming around. I've heard/seen some numbers mentioned...but I'm going to stay away from that one...!!

The science is IN! Wolves don't kill people. And humans are causing the planet to heat up. Just ask Al Gore...

I have seen a short film, it says the hunter is to Wolf strangulation. The hunters use ribbons to form a hunting ground, standing at a distance shot, right now I think they are poor, they are helpless. Is this is Wolf for human's revenge?

You may have seen a film, but you sure haven't seen a Northern Grey Wolf. Or you haven't seen a meadow with 35 slaughtered elk (found by wrangler, Chamberlain Basin, Idaho) and not one eaten, or 300 sheep killed in one night (Private pasture near McCall, Idaho)

I love seeing them from a far but never up close, I am sure I would scream like a little girl. To me nature is exactly that, its nature, nothing to be domesticated. And people need to be smart about where they are when animals like this are around.
