| Oh please.. I was a kid in Polesie in eastern Poland, huge forests all around. Played in the woods almost every day in the summer/winter vacations, never even encountered a wolf, despite them being there. Stray dogs are a bigger threat. Rabid bats or foxes are a bigger threat. Ticks are a MUCH bigger threat. And if you drive a car - you're much more likely to kill a human being than all the wolves in the world combined. 50 years, whole world - over 211 deaths. ~5 per year. > In the half-century up to 2002, there were eight fatal attacks in Europe and Russia, three in North America, and more than 200 in south Asia. [1] For comparison, just in one year, just in USA - around 20-30. > At least 4.5–4.7 million Americans are bitten by dogs every year and, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 20 to 30 of these result in death [2] Wolves avoid people. There's something irrational in people's reaction to wolves. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_attacks_on_humans [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatal_dog_attacks_in_the_Unite... |
