Well, It is big news however, notice that at the end of the article it does say, "it would be a first in Alaska if confirmed a wolf kill." That is not an article we would want in the news because its' saying Alaska has a HUGE wolf population and they've basically never had a wolf kill a person.......I think we'd prefer the opposite. We'd want everyone to think the wolf is out to kill every single school kid walking to the bus...
If confirmed a wolf it would be a FIRST in Alaska. Not the publicity we want on the street. Keep it quiet. SSS
Hold on here folks. This kind of discussion I have had before. A Coworker once tried to tell me that there were only 3 recorded cases of Polar Bears killing people, so they weren't much of a danger. I countered that what that meant was that only 3 attacks were witnessed. I pointed out what my Alaskan born and raised Bush Pilot told me; "The Griz don't want anything to do with you but the Polar Bear? If he sees you he will come eat you, You don't mess around Mike, drop the spray and shoot"
FIRST Wolf kill in Alaska? Or the First one anyone knows about? There's been a whole lotta trappers-hunters-miners going solo through the Bush over the Centuries, who knows how many ended up in Wolf scat? For a long time I have been reading that "no healthy wolf" has ever attacked humans. Maybe we need to point out the falseness in that?
