[QUOTE="Riflehunter1776, post: 1364254, member: 103369"] Great post, and to reply to just this one small section: As far as non-rabid wolf attacks, one Russian scientist examined old administrative records from the period of 1840-1861; For just this period, and based on limited and incomplete archival sources he found documentation of 273 wolf attacks, resulting in 169 deaths. All but 7 were children. [URL]http://www.nina.no/archive/nina/PppBasePdf/oppdragsmelding/731.pdf[/URL] And of course there are the infamous Kirov wolf attacks, which the Farley Mowat types attempt to discredit: [I]The Kirov wolf attacks were a series of man-eating wolf attacks on humans which occurred in 1944–1954 in nine raions (districts) of the 120,800 km2 Kirov Oblast of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic[1] which resulted in the deaths of 22 children between the ages 3 and 17...... During World War II (the Great Patriotic War for the Soviet Union), wolves in the Kirov Oblast began to increase in number and develop bold behaviours toward humans, coinciding with the conscription of Kirov hunters into the Red Army, and the requisition of firearms from villages.
