You're in wolf territory, so what do you expect?

  What a thoughtless comment. Wolf attacks on humans are incredibly rare. According to Wikipedia, there have been only nine wolf attacks in North America in the past hundred years. You are more likely to be struck by lightning twice than you are to be attacked by a wolf. Saying people should expect wolf attacks simply because they are in a place inhabited by wolves is like saying you should expect to be attacked by a whale because you happen to be in the ocean.

    Exactly. This comment is not even an exaggeration, wolf attacks on humans are exceedingly rare. People fear wolves usually either out of ignorance or for economical reasons (livestock).

      To be completely fair, weren't wolves aggressively eradicated and only recently reintroduced in some areas of North America? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_distribution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_distribution

    [You should expect to be attacked by a whale because you happen to be in the ocean.] Indeed. You just confirmed what I said. And do you have a peace treaty with wildlife that you should be at peace when in their territory? Quit being a snowflake.
