With all due respect to anyone that says that, you guys are either full of shite or have never seen a wolf pack up close including in a zoo. Wolves aren't small, 4+ 80lb+ animals running around isn't a fricking joke. These aren't fox or even coyotes, I know multiple people including my mom that was chased walking her dog by a coyote. Now, change that to an animal twice the size.

I don't think anyone is arguing that a wolf isn't a bad arse animal/scary.

I can't explain it as you are right wolf attacks have NOT been happening. I see no reason for this outside of just statistically it hasnt happened YET.

It's been a few months and I can't find the article but there is something like 15,000-20,000 wolves in the US. It seems that people think wolves were almost non existent in the US until these handful of wolves were re-introduced. It's pretty easy to explain why wolves aren't killing humans because they are scared of humans. These few wolves aren't going to change that.

I'll ask you this, would you feel safe allowing my 10 year old daughter to walk our dog in an area with a wolf pack?

1. Not sure I'd feel safe letting my 10 year old daughter walk our dog by herself in most residential neighborhoods. 2. In the area wolves are being re-introduced I'd 100% be much more worried about a bear or even a mountain lion attacking her than I would a wolf. That is much more common. And you're not going to let them do that in those areas in the first place honestly.
