  1. There is no record of a healthy wolf ever attacking a  human. All reports of 'wolf attacks' have proved to be either wolf-dog hybrids, feral dogs, or rabid wolves. Of course, this does not mean that it has never happened, way back in prehistory, or that it will never happen, but the fact is it has never happened that we know of. Wolves are very shy and wary of humans, and will avoid them whenever possible.


  2. One time there was a little kid (about 3 years old) who was playing in his backyard. A wolf came into his yard and started attacking! The boys older brother (about 12) grabbed onto the wolf and pryed him off of the little boy! The kid (one being attacked) luckily had minor injuries. Scientists did tests on the wolf and it was perfectly healthy!!! This happened about 2 years ago!

    This was on the news!!!

    Please answer my Q!!!

  3. It's a very short list.

    The fact is that there are no known verified cases of healthy wolves attacking humans.

    There are many anecdotal records and historical tales, but no actual confirmed wolf attacks in all of human history.

    Of course, it's possible that this is because the wolves have eaten everyone, but more likely it's because the wolves simply don't attack humans if they are healthy and in their right minds.

  4. There was a wolf attack in New Mexico just a few months back.

    Wolves do attack humans....anyone who says otherwise is a liar.

  5. I am willing to stretch the truth in order to win the argument, I can make 3 seem like 20. Will you please help me?

    No

    I know of a few and some sources but you will have to formulate your own lies

    If you have to lie to make your point true it's not the point you need to be arguing

  6. Why? Do you want to use it against the wolves? because its not right if you just want to use it for a report to the goverment. We should know why you want the Info first.

  7. The Wolf of Ansbach was a man-eating wolf that attacked and killed an unknown number of people in the Principality of Ansbach in 1685, then a part of the Holy Roman Empire. Initially a nuisance preying on livestock, the wolf soon turned to women and children in order to satisfy its hunger. The citizens of Ansbach believed the animal to be a werewolf, a reincarnation of their late and cruel Bürgermeister, whose recent death had gone unlamented. During an organized hunt the locals succeeded in driving the wolf from a nearby forest and chasing it down with dogs until it leaped into an uncovered well for protection. Trapped, the wolf was slain, and its carcass paraded through the city marketplace. It was dressed in a man's clothing and, after severing its muzzle, the crowd placed a mask, wig, and beard upon its head, giving it the appearance of the former Bürgermeister. The wolf's body was then hanged from a gibbet for all to see until it underwent preservation for permanent display at a local museum.

    Wolf of Sarlat attacked and wounded seventeen people in Sarlat, France, in June 1766. Unlike other wolves that had become man-eaters, it was notable in that it attacked only grown men, standing on its hind legs to get at the face and neck. A burgher of Saint-Julien, Monsieur Dubex de Descamps, gathered a hunting party of one-hundred men and set out after the animal. In the pursuit the wolf turned on the hunters, injuring two of them. Dubex trapped the wolf in a meadow, dismounted, and shot it at point-blank range as it charged him. The wolf was roughly thirty inches at the withers and four feet, four inches in length. The huntsmen noted that its appearance combined some physical characteristics typical of foxes and greyhounds, suggesting hybridization.

    The Wolf of Soissons was a man-eating wolf which terrorized the commune of Soissons northeast of Paris over a period of two days in 1765, attacking eighteen people, four of which died from their wounds.The first victims of the wolf were a pregnant woman and her unborn child, attacked in the parish of Septmont on the last day of February. Diligent locals had taken the infant, a scant four or five months old, from the womb to be baptized before it died when the wolf struck again not three hundred yards from the scene of the first attack. One Madame d'Amberief and her son survived only by fighting together.On 1 March near the hamlet of Courcelles a man was attacked by the wolf and survived with head wounds. The next victims were two young boys, named Boucher and Maréchal, who were savaged on the road to Paris, both badly wounded. A farmer on horseback lost part of his face to the wolf before escaping to a local mill, where a boy of seventeen was caught unawares and slain. After these atrocities the wolf fled to Bazoches, where it partially decapitated a woman and severely wounded a girl, who ran screaming to the village for help. Four citizens of Bazoches set an ambush at the body of the latest victim, but when the wolf returned it proved too much for them and the villagers soon found themselves fighting for their lives. The arrival of more peasants from the village finally put the wolf to flight, chasing it into a courtyard where it fought with a chained dog. When the chain broke the wolf was pursued through a pasture, where it killed a number of sheep, and into a stable, where a servant and cattle were mutilated.The episode ended when one Antoine Saverelle, former member of the local militia, tracked the wolf to small lane armed with a pitchfork. The wolf sprang at him but he managed to pin its head to the ground with the instrument, holding it down for roughly fifteen minutes before an armed peasant came to his aid and killed the animal. Saverelle received a reward of three-hundred livres from Louis XV of France for his bravery.

    The Wolves of Périgord were a pack of man-eating wolves that dominated the northwestern regions of Périgord, France, in February of 1766. According to official records, the wolves killed eighteen people and wounded many others before they themselves were eliminated.Louis XV took personal interest in the case, rewarding a man for his courage in saving a victim of the wolves with the promise of a cash reward and an exemption of militia service for his children. The man, a sexagenarian with a billhook, had rescued an armed marksman and his companions from marauding wolves after their gunpowder had been depleted. Records indicate that citizens of Périgord, known as Sieurs de Fayard, killed three wolves, and a professional hunter slew a fourth. A general hunt ended in the death of two wolves, male and female. The female was noted as having a double row of teeth in the jaw, suggesting the possibility of wolf-dog hybridization.

    The Wolves of Paris were a man-eating wolf pack that entered Paris during the winter of 1450 through breaches in the city walls, killing forty people. A wolf named Courtaud, or Bobtail, was the leader of the pack. Eventually the wolves were destroyed when Parisians, furious at the depredations, lured Courtaud and his pack into the heart of the city, where they were stoned and speared to death before the gates of Notre Dame Cathedral.

    The Wolves of Hazaribagh were a pack of five man-eating Indian wolves which between February and August 1981, killed 13 children aged from 4 to 10 years. Their hunting range was 2.7 square miles (7 square km) around the town of Hazaribagh in the eastern Indian district of Bihar. They were apparently attracted to the area by the town’s rubbish dump, where livestock carcasses and bodies from the local mortuary were often buried, and frequently attracted wolves, striped hyenas, golden jackals and pariah dogs.One of the first attacks occurred on 15 February 1981, when a wolf entered a yard bordered by brushwood and attacked a young boy. The boy’s cries attracted several people, who attacked the wolf with wooden poles, beating it to death. Throughout the next six months, the remaining wolves killed 13 children and mauled 13 others. On a night of June 1981, they were seen via a headlight to be exhuming and eating a human corpse. During the year, 4 wolves were killed, the last of which, thought to be the dominant male, was caught in a scrub forest and shot.

    Wolves of Ashta

    It is thought that the first victim was a shepherd boy by the name of Govind, who lived in the village of Amarpura. He disappeared whilst pasteurising his cattle, shortly before the first officially recognised attacks.The second victim (though the first to be officially recognised) was a boy of eight, killed in the village of Foodra near Dodi Ghati, on the third week of November. The boy was playing near his families jowar field, when one of the wolves grabbed him and carried him into the forest. The boy’s parents, brandishing a lathi, pursued the wolf, which upon seeing them, left the child, who was by then dead with his abdominal cavity torn open.The third victim was a balahi baby boy taken from the village of Amala Majju. The child had been left in a sari hammock whilst his mother worked in the nearby fields. Upon returning to feed her son, she found the hammock empty. A search party was organised, and after a few hours of fruitless searching, a splash of blood was found on a leaf. A little further, the child’s bloodied clothing was found caught on a Lantana bush. The villagers brought the matter to the attention of the Dodi forest officials, who passed the information onto the Ashta Range Officer, who in turn informed the District Forest Officer at Sehore. The DFO sent officials to the village, who upon inspecting the site of the killing, found tracks belonging to a large male wolf.The impact the fear of the man-eater had (which at the time was thought to be a lone animal), had serious repercussions on the life of the villagers within its hunting range. Crops went out of cultivation, as farmers were too frightened to leave their huts, and several parents prohibited their children from attending school, for fear that the man-eater would catch them on the way.A group of hunters and government men, intent on formulating a strategy to tackle the wolf, congregated at a house in the village of Dodi, situated on the banks of the Dudhi river which was at the heart of the wolf’s killing range. Among them were Ajay Singh Yadav the Collector of the Sehore District, Bruno D’cruz the district superintendent of police, Chaudhry the Divisional Forest Officer and his two assistants Shrivastava and Naqvi, and Kaurav the Sub Divisional Officer of Ashta. It was decided that baits in the form of goats and sheep would be tied up at waterholes or game trails frequented by the man-eater in Rupahera, Amla Mazzu, Gwala, Arnia Gazi and the Dodi Plateau. Shikaris with .12 bore shotguns would sit over these baits. Police pickets would be posted at all affected villages to boost morale, and mobile patrolling parties would move through the area at all times. Unfortunately, these strategies had no effect on the killings, which continued regardless.A fortnight after the unsuccessful strategy had been mobilised, a farmer named “Dr Haidar”, who was a friend of Yadav the Collector, went alone to the hills near the village of Amla Mazzu, where he knew the man-eater sometimes frequented. After finding a cavern mantled with overhanging creepers containing two wolf pups, Haidar left for the village of Pardhikhera, where he asked assistance from the local Pardhi chieftan Rajaram. The Pardhis were skilled trappers, and gladly assisted in the hunt by digging a small pit about 4-6 feet wide outside the den. The pit was covered in vegetation, with the two pups tied to a pole near it. When the sun reached its western horizon, the she-wolf returned, and upon seeing its cubs, rushed into the trap, where it was immediately killed by the Pardhis. The she-wolf’s pups were later adopted by the Pardhis. Although upon examination,
