Seems that as long as you keep your dog on a leash, wolves are not really harmful. (sarcasm, of course)

Looks like we need to remove a member from WDFW, I bet he doesnt have permison from his PAO to talk to the paper about his crackpot theories.

Just got back from watching "The Grey", awesome movie I loved it!!!  Even the tree huggers in the audience were on edge.  First quiet movie I've seen in a long time!!

Something about the "Oh, no!" response from this bio just didn't/doesn't sit right with me . . . maybe wolves only directly kill humans on rare occasion, but the predation on stock animals (leaving predation on wild game aside) does real, however indirect, harm to people.  I know I'm preaching to the choir with this.

So everything he said is based solely on the Ads?  How ignorant is that?

As far as documented killing of humans, how many solo trappers and hunters may have been killed only to have their remains go undiscovered??  A documented killing only means a Witness Survived or Remains were found. These  guys never mention attack's and mauling's by wolves that people survive.

  I really do not understand the problem with the movie. They have said from the beginning of this that wolves only eat the sick and injured these guys are in a plane crash they are sick and injured right?

Washington is home to at least 27 wolves, including three successful breeding pairs. The wolf management plan calls for a minimum of 15 breeding packs   throughout the state. 

My  this typo couldn't be more truth, 15 breeding packs is what they want not 15 breeding pairs. How many wolves does it take to "make a pack" anyway.

Has anybody seen this movie yet?  I seen it the other night in Seattle and it was really good.  I didn't like the way it ended but it was still overall very good!

[carpsniperg2]

I can't wait to see it I don't know if our local place is even going to show it

[ribka]

It was ok.

By the way there have been 1000's of documented wolf attacks on humans  in Russia and in Europe throughout history.

I saw the Movie last night. It was allright but I wouldn't call it great  they use Computer animated Wolves which was rather fake looking & the ending was kinda stupid.
