Canada's National Post reports the story of a worker at a mining camp in northern Saskatchewan being attacked by a wolf. Fortunately a security guard heard the ruckus, scared it away, and the attackee survived.
The article rehashes the party line that wolves never attack humans, debunks it, indicates circumstances under which they may do so, and indicates Parks Canada works at keeping wolf packs out of the human areas in Banff and Jasper.
It cannot be an accident that our ancestors hunted wolves almost to extinction and feared them a great deal. With the low tech at their disposal, doing that took a lot of work and energy; it was done to protect human lives and livestock.
Our greens and PETA activists have gotten wolves reintroduced in many places here and overseas. People who camp, hunt, fish, and run crosscountry will pay the price in wolf attacks and deaths.
Fido's big older brother is a formidable predator, both strong and wily.
