Wolves Likely Killed an Ontario Man
January 5, 2006
This will add fuel to the debate about the gray wolves re-introduction back into the United States. Although officials state that wolves killing humans is extremely rare, no one disputes the fact that human - wolf encounters are on the rise in the U.S. and livestock and pets are being killed more and more by the wolves.
Wisconsin is one state where the management goals of gray wolves has been exceeded and there’s not much that state officials can do because the wolf is protected federally by the endangered species act.
This article sheds more light on what is going on in Wisconsin concerning the gray wolves and also talks about the death of Carnegie.

I’m a big friend of wolves, but I still can’t be anything else than astonished when I hear things like that “it’s the first time a human has been killed by wolves in North America” — There are numerous recorded incidents - even in our times - where humans have been attacked and killed by wolves in North America - Both healthy and unhealthy wolves. The wolve is a predator and to think that we humans should have a special privileged status with wolves is nonsense. In the right situation, at the right time and place, wolves may very well attack, kill and even devour humans. This doesn’t give the human any more reason to infringe upon the right of the wolve to exist in environments close to human habitats. This is nature and we just have to live with it.
I have to agree with the comment from Mar. 11th. Wolves, bears, and the like deserve respect and we should not infringe on their habitat unnecessarily. Saskatchewan or wherever they are - stay off their property or be prepared.
