POST FALLS - Jim Beers believes the wolf controversy will jolt urban centers after all.

And, when it does, it won't be pretty.

Beers, a retired U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist and wolf expert from Minnesota, told about 50 people attending his talk on "The Wolving of America" on Wednesday that disease-carrying wolves will wander along recreation paths on the outskirts of cities and the diseases will spread to homes through dogs.

"Sniffing feces is the perfect place to pick up tapeworms," Beers said, adding that disease can also spread in other ways such as saliva and blood. "That's what dogs do. They're always smelling for other dogs and canines."

Beers spoke at the Greyhound Park and Event Center during an event sponsored by the Spokane chapter of Citizens' Alliance for Property Rights. Brian Walker, Cda Press, Full Story
