DESCRIPTION OF INCIDENTON FEBRUARY 16TH 2012 I RECIEVED A COLD REPORT OF A POSSIBLE WOLF ATTACK ON A HUMAN. I RESPONDED THE SAME DAY AND CONDUCTED INTERVIEWS WITH THE VICTIM AND NEIGHBORS. I WAS UNABLE TO CONFIRM THAT THE CANID THAT ATTACKED THE VICTIM WAS A WILD GRAY WOLF. THE AREA HAS SEEN SHEEP AND DOG ATTACKS OVER THE LAST YEAR. MANY OF THESE REPORTED 'WOLF' ATTACKS WERE DETERMINED TO BE DOMESTIC DOG OR WOLF-HYBRIDS. THE VICTIM'S DOGS WERE SUSPECTED IN SOME OF THE ATTACKS, BUT THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO POSSIBLE BASED ON THEIR AGE.

This is where I can easily tell you, hybrids attacks are insanely common. You have your wild genes clashing with he domestic genes, and that makes the animal unpredictible and usually irritable and nervous. It's actually safer to outright own a pure wolf than a hybrid. A child running or screaming will trigger the prey instinct and alot of peple and children have died from hybrid attacks. i will definately be following this case to see the outcome.
It's something I've had to study about. Alot of people out there think its a good idea to own a hybrid and people like me give them the facts to discourage them from doing so.
