Another candidate for the Darwin Awards...
The story said partial predation which usually means partially eaten
Here's an update.

While I feel it's prudent to restore the wolves' natural fear of man, I think the decision to re-name the school mascot is a bit silly. But, their school, their teacher, their business.

The whole school mascot thing is utterly ridiculous. "Lets take the pictures of the faculty staff down, too..... they are humans and humans kill people." My town mascot is a SHARK...... the horror! I understand folks are upset, but you have to pull it together and carry on without letting fear rule your lives.
All my respect to the girl's family.

Magnussen,
While I don't really disagree with you..... what H2H907 said above [ that I have made BOLD ] ...pretty well sums it up IMO.
We don't live there and if that is what they [the majority] want to do in their town..... more power to them.
Maybe, they are doing it out of what they feel is respect for the girl who was killed. We don't know cause we ain't there...... and to second guess what they do.... IMO..... serves no purpose. :thumbup:

i have seen the same stories and agree. When your out in the wilderness, its eyes, ears, smell etc. That keeps you out of trouble. Use you senses, its nice to hear whats coming.

It is very interesting how people in the West feel entitled to devastate the natural environment (especially if it is owned by the feds). The environmentalists dont want you to treat wolves as pets, they just dont want you westerners to AGAIN put a bounty on the wolves and exterminate them. Anyway, wolves are much less dangerous than many other animals, for example, dogs:
Now I love dogs, but they kill MANY more people than wolves:

Scotchleaf - wow... the striking part of that list to me is how many of the dogs were "chained" and how many of the deaths were children.
As for trail running with an ipod... it seems ridiculous to me. If it's not wolves, it could be dogs, a cougar, a bear, or human predators... not to mention cars or even an air plane (a runner recently got hit on the beach by a plane that had to ditch).
With all due respect to the woman who died and her friends and family, don't run outside with an ipod.
I hope the folks she left behind find some comfort in the days ahead.
As for trail running with an ipod... it seems ridiculous to me. If it's not wolves, it could be dogs, a cougar, a bear, or human predators... not to mention cars or even an air plane (a runner recently got hit on the beach by a plane that had to ditch).
With all due respect to the woman who died and her friends and family, don't run outside with an ipod.

It's truly awful that this happened. People shouldn't have to cower inside their homes to avoid being attacked.
That being said, what is it with girls who go running with iPods/headphones on?! Especially in the woods of ALASKA?! You are denying yourself ANY sort of situational awareness by blocking your hearing, and being distracted by the music so your thoughts aren't on what's going on around you.
Recently a buddy and I were mountain biking on some local trails, and caught up to a girl running with headphones on. We tried coughing, clearing our throats, and making other small noises so she would move over and let us past, but she was totally oblivious. We had to follow her for quite a distance before she finally noticed we were behind her. When she did see us, she gave us a glare as we went past as if we were stalking her or something. Get a clue!
Go outside and have fun, but if you're a 4'11" woman running in the wilds of Alaska, you might want to switch the iPod out for a 45/70 and a companion.

These dogs will be headed for the "promised land" shortly.
In fact I am really surprised they are not there already.
I guess since "animal control" rounded them up and put them in 'dog jail'.... they are safe... for a very short time anyway.
And if the DA fails to get them legally, I am sure the family or neighbors won't fail..... :thumbup:
That is a heck of a thing for anybody to have to go through....... especially a three year old playing in her own front yard. :thumbdn:

National Geographic recently did a story on the return of wolves, and did a pretty decent job. While they reported that wolves did a lot of damage to ranchers livestock populations, they found that in Yellowstone the wolf population was actually self-regulating, and the park and it's other animals benefited from the wolves being there.
Be good to find a way to restore a balance to nature, if we can. Man meddling in these things usually doesn't work out too well.

I feel for the deceased lady and her family. But---to me, running in the boonies with ears plugged by 'ear buds' or whatever plus music is akin to driving while texting. Both are a super bad thing to do. We have no wolf problem here in my part of NM but do have a feral dog problem and also no few pranksters (idiots) who will try to see how close they can 'shave' you with a motor vehicle when you're running on the shoulder. We warn the local school kids and others all the time not to jog with any of your senses impaired and to carefully select your jogging paths/routes.
What is really interesting is how people in the east and south feel that as long as it is not in your backyard it's ok for the government to force something on us westerners that is not needed and most of us don't want. We exterminated them because they are in direct conflict with our interests, they kill livestock and compete for the prey we like to hunt.I am higher on the food chain and I am ok with that. So by all means if you want em take them to Georgia.

^^ wow.... just, wow. ^^
Modern Americans have a choice as to where their food source comes from... they have the choice to take precautionary measures against predators taking livestock. They also have the choice to ignore the alternatives to exterminating a species. What choices do the wolves have? We are experiencing quite the opposite over here. Without the master predators like the wolf and the bear. We have an over population of deer and are forced to perform culls to prevent them from destroying themselves. Our argriculture suffers from "wild grazers". The coyotes can't take enough to keep the balance, so we attempt to play mother nature. This area once had Timber Wolves and Black Bear... now they are non-existant. Truly sad. The mentality you portrayed in the above post.... that you have to compete with wolves to survive... is also sad.
But what the hell do I know, right?

I'm pretty sure there's lots of people where you live who don't share your ridiculous views.
I said most not all. You are right we have a choice. We made the choice once already. Now all you holier than though people who have absolutely no stake in this problem whatsoever are trying shove these things down our throats. The majority of people who actually live in the states that are affected would at least like the ability to have some control over the population, based on science not emotion. I won't change your attitude and you won't change mine so this whole discussion is like pissing into the wind. But I live here and make my living raising livestock so truthfully it's my "problem" not yours.
