Are you sure? I've seen them eat dogs off the dock.

What a nice guyWe had a wolf hybrid. Duke was part Malamute and part wolf.
The key word being average? I said as much in the original post you quote; you can always find animals larger than average. Posting a few pictures of exceptionally large animals doesn't speak to what their average weight is or what kind of a distribution exists out in the wild.Yep, these are just average german shepherd sized, harmless, live-and-let-live, doggies [...]
A dog is a dog, a man is.....well...a man.
Maybe not.Sea lions don't eat humans.
Looks like a pack a 400 which blows everything you said out of the water. Deal with it.DailyMail + russian collusion = fake news...duh....look like coydogs
Look at the bright side.. Africa has hyenas.
Sea lions don't eat humans.
So......you have the required permits for your Wolves?View attachment 430841 View attachment 430842 View attachment 430844
Im torn on the subject, maybe im a touch biased. Most people do not have a clear understanding of wolf behavior in pack or when running solo or in captivity. There is a big difference in wolf behavior between alpha roles and subordinate roles. My 2 pets appear to be 100% timberwolf and were rescued from 3 girls living at the dorms at OSU at 10 months of age. The grey male is about 130# the black female is about 95#. When raised as subordinates and kept from any prospect of achieving a alpha role they can be very loving, submissive, loyal animals. I can feed mine red meat, and let them eat and if I the Alpha decide i want to reclaim said red meat they readily will retreat from it with zero arguement. Ive seen plenty of dogs much worse behaved. That being said I also know there wild animals and must be treated as so. A hungry wolf wild or captive is a hungry wolf and a pack of hungry wolves are going to do what they need to do to survive. Wolves by nature are very reclusive, shy, weary and intelligent. I feel no threat in the wild from the normal wolf pack acting like a normal wolf pack. Its the wolves that learn to not fear people , learn farm livestock is pray that do worry me and should be controlled and the allowance of overpopulation of wolves is clearly a issue. When packs compete and food is scarce is when wolves learn bad things. IDAHO is a great example of a state acting to late on its wolf population , Idaho didnt choose to wait so long before trying to contol there numbers . It was the green peace types and sierra club types that kept idaho from putting the wolf at stage 3 of reintroduction in idaho and thus control to state level but the sierra types always were getting a judges introvention just as idaho would get control handed too them and stopping the state from allowing number control measures. Thus there is no denying the delay (nearly 10 years after wolf population met stage 3 numbers for the state of Idaho to start population controls as they see fit)had devostating effects on elk herds and some wolves learning non wolf behavior of preying on livestock and having less fear of people. Oregon needs to see the effect of waiting to long before population control measures are used yes but i also believe a few wolves in moderation are a good thing ecology wise. And if there numbers are controlled at lower levels there interactions with people and livestock will be minimized but never controlled completly as there will always be rogue wolves and the exeption to the norm and i have no quams of controlling those animals. A few packs in remote wilderness on the otherhand doing what a normal pack of wolves does to survive will likely have very little impact on elk population or livestock or people.
