Do Wolves Attack Humans?

Home > Do Wolves Attack Humans?

I was scanning through keywords and phrases visitors used who found my web site and one of the key phrases was, “Do wolves attack humans?”. Curiously I looked down through the Google search results and found this answer on WikiAnswers:

Wolves very rarely attack humans. They will do so if they are injured or old or humans have driven away their normal prey. Wolves usually hunt in packs and will probably attack humans in packs, for they will not attack anything bigger than themselved by their lonesome.

Anyone with some spare time interested in signing up at WikiAnswers and editing this answer to something more truthful?

Wiki is useless drivel, it has been edited by the CIA, The Vatican, and other government agencies..Wiki can never be trusted. Wiccan interdependence knotfurlong idiocracy, is for dumbed down lazy tards.

I attended a funeral of a 3 year old boy who was attacked in his backyard by a wolf. No rabies, healthy and hungry. Several pets have gone missing near an area populated by wolves.
So, who or what, do we protect?

Wolves only tend to attack humans if they’re sick or have no other choice. Think about it, if you were a wolf and some clumsy two-legged thing came crashing into your territory, you’d be a bit hostile too.

Thank God I crash into wolf territory riding a four legged clumsy thingy..

What channel is that, Sam, where wolves tend to attack humans? If the wolves are sick, shoot them.

So, if, by no other choice, they “tend” to attack humans, i think that’s a sign; there are too many wolves.

I was thinking, and my imagination would not take over and allow me to give animals human traits – only in the movies.

Reality, Sam.

I think it is a matter of perception. For folks that live in the city and only visit the back country once a year on vacation, they will have a very small chance of even seeing a wolf (unless they have a dog.) However for the people that live in the back country, and have wolves living around them, the chances of encounter/attack are much, much higher.
