Yellowstone wolf incident

Like bears and sharks, wolves have no interest in people as food. If they did, you'd know it.

Bears and sharks absolutely have some interest in people as food

I posted an interesting video of a pack of wolves decisively loping after a man into a ravine at close range and used a common turn of phrase, and instead of comment on the video you comment on that? Next time a pack runs after you, I'll trust you are debating semantics of whether in an animal attack scenario they tear you to shreds, rip you to pieces, tear you limb from limb, eat you up. This is like the if a tree falls in the forest and no-one hears, does it make a noise? So if an animal attacks and kills someone, and its not caught on video, do they swallow the victim whole?

If your next question is whether I think wolves attack people, well, yes I do. It has happened. It is rare. That's what makes the video interesting.

The wolves wont get you. Its ok.

shb, that's a relief!

BTW we once had a real nice PM convo about Wyoming fishing. Guess we should stick to that. Have a nice weekend.

Right. I'm assuming there is more video that is not shown which is a basis for citing him. If this is the whole story, then he did what he had to do. Only unfortunate thing is it wasn't a bison, so we can't add it to the counter.

So it's unfortunate he wasn't killed by a bison? I think that's what I'm reading. None of us know what actually happened but let's suppose the guy was at fault here. Have we come to the place where it's unfortunate that people who do dumb stuff aren't trampled and gored to death? Would you feel different if it was your son or brother? Just asking. I guess I value human life more, even the dumb ones.

No shortage of self righteousness on the Internet. We all do dumb things, doesn't make us dumb people. Casting stones at possible instances of poor judgement is a silly thing to do.

Not what I intended, and I apologize for the short-sighted comment. I put something in a joking manner knowing there was a counter of sorts in another thread without thoroughly thinking through what it could actually mean. I haven't kept up-to-date with that thread so perhaps it led to wishes of death. I wouldn't actually want somebody to get killed or seriously injured in any instance regardless of whether they were at fault or not. In this instance, in particular, I didn't even see anything in the video to indicate that he was even at fault, but it still wouldn't matter as far as wishing serious injury on the individual. Again, short-sighted, off the cuff comment which shouldn't have been made. Sorry.
