Beware of wolves

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife biologist responding to the movie “Grey” claims wolves do not attack people and worries that the movie will give people a negative response to wolves. He needs to remember wolves are dogs. A dog attack was reported in your paper just recently.

Our new wolves are very special dogs: a combination of arctic and subarctic lines, as smart as a 3- or 4-year-old child, with the organization of the Mafia, the strength of three crazed pit bulls, and the endurance of a Kenyan distance champion. They will feed themselves and protect territory. They expand territory like a teenager headed off to university and reproduce themselves at astounding rates in the face of serious challenges. We again have them and must recognize our own research. They do eat our wildlife, livestock, each other and pets. There is no reason to believe that they will not add people to the list.
