Wasn't there a story on here a while back about a guy and his run in with wolves while he was on his horse? and they surrounded him?

Otherwise seems like they kept thier statements pretty bland, for obvious reasons.

Oh wait, that has been said before...and went over real well. I'm sure there will be the same amount of backlash over another instance of blaming the victim.
