with an Ontario geophysics company in northern Saskatchewan when he was killed.

Witnesses told the inquest that wild animals had been feeding at a nearby dump and there were concerns that wolves in the area had lost their natural fear of humans.

The jury has recommended that public education about large predators be improved and that measures be taken to stop animals from feeding at dump sites in remote areas.

1984 - Style Reporting On Dangerous Wolves

For several decades, pro-wolf brainwashing has assured repeatedly that there has never been a wolf attack on people. This is false. Not only do wolves attack people; they are also known man-eaters. Once people begin researching this topic, they learn they have been lied to. Throughout American history there have been numerous documented wolf attacks. Alaska alone has documented eight-eight attacks. Any claims that there has been no documented wolf attacks in North America is fiction. Exposed as such, the pro-wolf side simply rolls out rewrites, hoping to distract readers from the truth.

A Few Examples:

New Rockford, North Dakota - "The news has just reached here that a father and son, living several miles northeast of this city, were destroyed by wolves yesterday. The two unfortunate men started to a haystack some ten rods from the house to shovel a path around the stack when they were surrounded by wolves and literally eaten alive. The horror-stricken mother was standing at the window with a babe in her arms, a spectator to the terrible death of her husband and son, but was unable to aid them. After they had devoured every flesh from the bones of the men, the denizens of the forest attacked the house, but retired to the hills in a short time. Investigation found nothing but the bones of the husband and son. The family name was Olson. Wolves are more numerous and dangerous now than ever before known in North Dakota." (Saint Paul Daily Globe, March 8, 1888)

This occurrence was in Northwestern Colorado.  An eighteen-year-old girl went out at dusk to bring in some milk cows. She saw a gray wolf on a hill as she went out for the cows. She shouted at the wolf to scare it away and it did not move. She then threw a stone at it to frighten it away. The animal snarled at her shouting and attacked her when she threw the stone at it. The wolf grabbed the girl by the shoulder, threw her to the ground and bit her severely on the arms and legs. She screamed and her brother, who was nearby and armed with a gun, responded to the scene of the attack and killed the wolf. The wolf was a healthy young animal, barely full grown. Grinnell met this girl and examined her. She carried several scars from the attack. This attack occurred in summer, about 1881. (Grinnell, G.B.; Trail and Campfire – Wolves and Wolf Nature, New York, 1897)

Canada – A wolf attacked Canadian Pacific Railway section foreman Michael Dusiak in 1942 while patrolling a section of track on a speeder (small 4-wheeled open railroad car). Dusiak relates, "It happened so fast and as it was still very dark, I thought an engine had hit me first. After getting up from out of the snow very quickly, I saw the wolf which was about fifty feet away from me and it was coming towards me, I grabbed the two  axes (tools on the speeder), one in each hand, and hit the wolf as he jumped at me, right in the belly, and in doing so lost one axe. Then the wolf started to circle me and got so close to me at times that I hit him with the head of the axe, and it was only the wielding of the axe  that kept him from me. All this time he was growling and gnashing  his teeth. Then he would stop circling me and jump at me and I would hit him with the head of the axe. This happened five times and he kept edging me closer to the woods, which was about 70 feet away. We fought this way for about fifteen minutes and I fought to stay out in the open close to the track. I hit him quite often as he came  at me  very fast and quick and I was trying to hit him a solid blow in the head for I knew if once he got me down it would be my finish. Then in the course of the fight he got me over onto the north side of the track and we fought there for about another ten minutes. Then a westbound train came along traveling about thirty miles an hour and stopped about half a train length west of us and backed up to where we were fighting. The engineer, fireman and brakeman came off the engine armed with picks and other tools, and killed the wolf."

Cook, Kathy; "Night of the Wolf" READER'S DIGEST, July 1997, pp. 114-119.)

Wolves in Alaska have attacked humans. The late David Tobuk carried scars on his face from a wolf attack on him as a small child. The incident occurred around the turn of the century in interior Alaska.  David was playing in his village near a river. An old wolf came into the village and bit David in the face and started to carry him off.  Other Eskimos saw the wolf dragging the child off and started yelling and screaming. The wolf dropped the child and was shot by an old Eskimo trapper who had a gun. (Interview with Frank Tobuk, brother, Bettles, Alaska, December 1988.)

Six Injured In Rare Wolf Attack

Montreal Canada – A black wolf sowed terror at a popular Canadian beach, attacking six people -- including four children -- before it was shot dead, an official with the Canadian province of Ontario said on Thursday. The victims at first believed the animal was a large black dog when it appeared in broad daylight on Monday and then attacked beachgoers along the shores of Lake Superior, Melanie Dufresne, spokesperson for the ministry of natural resources, told AFP. The victims were bitten in the arm, hands, ankles and head and were hospitalized but have since been released, she said. It took several terrifying minutes before the animal was finally chased from the beach. The incident occurred in a provincial park, only a few hundred meters from a main cross-country highway, where the an imal was shot several hours later. The wolf, which weighed 33kg, did not have rabies and appeared to be healthy, said Brent Patterson, a wolf specialist at the ministry. The animal was most likely two to three years old and "was not starving," Patterson said. Wolf attacks on humans are considered extremely rare, he said. [This was just 28 miles from the U.S. – Canadian border.)

"This was a predatory wolf attack,” conservation officer James Zucchelli confirmed in an interview from his Bella Coola Valley office. “That fellow was perceived as a prey source. He was attacked with intent to eat. The wolf saw him and took off running at him.” He fought the wolf off, reaching his kayak he pulled a knife and filled the wolf with wounds. The wolf finally ran off. The man called for rescue because he was unable to paddle due to injuries on his hands. The kayaker, who was on a four-week solo trip from southeast Alaska to northern Vancouver Island, asked not to be identified or interviewed, saying he doesn’t need the publicity and is concerned that news of the rare incident will only give wolves a bad image.

This “rare incident” does not give wolves a bad image. They’ve already earned such an image. One day soon, it is hoped that the individuals, organizations and agencies involved in the capture, captive breeding, and “re” introduction of this large predator will receive other than the current favorable attention they enjoy. Wolves are dangerous predatory animals that attack, kill and eat humans. Often hunting in packs, wolves are opportunists, not choosy about their menu items. They can and will attack livestock, horses, dogs, children, and adults. When interviewing people about near attacks, the stress is evident in their eyes and voices. Once the deceitful blindfold is ripped off, no amount of propaganda can fly.

'Wolf killed after attempting to drag boy, 6, into woods.' Yakkutat, Alaska...The wolf was 'aware of the other people around him, but his whole intention was trying to take off with the little boy,' camper Teresa Thompson said. 'He had literally picked the little boy off the ground.'"
