Wolf Attack Kills Teacher

I thought wolves didnt kill people? Think I've heard it said many times on tv shows and in movies. Like if they find you incapacitated they'd eat you but they wouldnt actively hunt you. Urban Myth I guess :eek:

To the OP - Don't want to get eaten by a wolf? Don't go running in the woods with your ipod on. And even if you do, you're probably more likely to be struck than lighting than you are to be eaten by a wolf. So don't blame this on the liberals or the tree huggers or the police or the game warden or whatever else you want to do. Be saddened that an unfortunate woman was killed by animals, use it to think about how you should protect yourself and your loved ones from the same fate, and leave the moronic political posturing out of it.

Thanks for the moronic response, moron, but when I'm in the woods around here I'm armed and not listening to an ipod.

The post was informational, I'm not here to argue with moronic vegan hippie trolls. Ciao.

Just a sad story! As much as I love being in the woods or on a trail, I never saw the point in trail running. Just too many cons and not enough pros.. At her size, and judging that wolfs attack from behind and go for the throat; I don't think a handgun or any weapon wood have saved her. A couple of big dogs running beside her like Tucan mentioned is a great idea in situation like that.

Poor girl.. :(

"She was probably not aware of them until they actually lunged at her or attacked her," Berner said. "She did the best she could, but they figured there were two of them for sure, maybe three ... She put up a struggle. It was not an immediate thing."

A pistol could have saved her, she probably didn't want the weight or bulk.

I never hike or camp without a weapon.

There you go injecting rational thought, backed by documented evidence, into the discussion again. That type of thinking isn't welcome when it's easier to just blame this on politics and "those damn city slicker tree huggers". :rolleyes:

Seems a pretty reasonable response to me.
 
PETA attempted to buy all of Idaho's wolf tags when the season opened, to protect the wolves... then all the sudden entire sheep farms started getting whiped out, with all the meat left on the sheep-they were slaughtered for sport. Then, they discovered that the precious moose and bighorn sheep population disappeared, and pondered why. We have so many wolves in Idaho right now, anyone that does anything outside for a living are being very cautious. All the yuppies and hippies that sit downtown Boise in their Patagonia recycled pullovers drinking coffee don't mind the wolves, but they haven't seen their entire livelihoods destroyed by them yet. It's funny though, Fluffy, their cat, didn't come home two weeks ago after he was let out... I wonder where Fluffy is now...
 
The bottom line here, is that playing the blame game is counter productive.
Who is really at fault over this? .gov? Pro Wolf liberal vegan morons? Your Mom and Dad? The wolves? Hey, they gotta eat too, ya know

What you CAN do, is take steps to insure that you don't become some animal's meal. How one accomplishes this goal will vary between individuals, but to do nothing........... oh my:jerkit:
 
Having lived in Alaska, there are a few points relevant to this thread. 1. Wolves were not re-introduced to Alaska as they were in several of the lower states. They were always there. 2. Moose kill (by attacking) far more Alaskans then bears or wolves. (16 to 1 over grizzles) 3. I read a statement by a school district superintendent near Palmer Alaska who publicly stated that being killed and eaten by a grizzle bear is not an abnormal danger, it is a way of life in Alaska (He was talking about school children, and yes he was fired.). 4. Alaska is the only place scout masters are allowed (and requested) to carry BIG rifles on scout campouts and hikes).
My son now lives in Eastern Idaho and wolves and bears are becoming more and more of a problem for recreational outdoor activites.

My question was "AnyONE other than the woman." It was directed at a person who seemed to be blaming various types of persons and/or organisations.

It's true, the wolves killed her. That's large predators for you. But are they responsible? Of course not. Next we want to hold lightning responsible for striking people.

Well said.

same here, on the trails through the woods and the sidewalks and paths in the inner city.

Shutting out the world around you may make it easier for some to live with how things are...with ignorance being bliss and all, but blocking out the realities does not make them go away. That lesson is often a harsh one.

it's called SSS- Shoot, Shovel, Shut Up
 
Imagine that..... wonder what PETA or Disney would/will say about this.
They will most likely blame it on the girl who got killed, cause we all know a wild animal never bothers a human.......... right???

Tragic indeed, and my heart goes out to girl and her family.... :thumbup:

This is a perfect example of why one should be armed and prepared to defend themselves at all times.

Whether the "predator" be a wild animal [bear, coyotes, wild dogs, mountain lions, or wolves] or..... a wild criminal.
Neither one has respect for your life and if you are not prepared to deal with them.......... they will most likely deal with you.
And you probably will not like the outcome most of the time.

Even if you are armed, that is still no guarantee of the outcome...... but at least you have a fighting chance against the "pack mentality".... whether it be wild animal or human.

Just my .02.............. ;)

It's very much an urban myth. Wolves attack people all over the world. There was a big problem with them in India in 1996.
Since the first killing five months ago, 33 children have been carried off and killed by wolves, according to police figures; 20 others have been seriously mauled along this stretch of the Ganges River basin, 350 miles from New Delhi. A hunt by thousands of villagers and police officers has killed only 10 wolves so far.
