Actually when I did the search I found alot of interesting information both pro, and con.

It is a fact that more wolf attacks occur in Asia and Europe than N. American. I think that is obvious giving the population of these places in comparision in land mass.

In the Articles I read on attackes in NA(Canada and US) were rare often 40 to 50 years apart with a few notable exceptions like British Columbia. In some of those attacks the wolf attacked only after have a stone tossed at it or being yelled at. After reading all these articles I feel we have less to fear from the wolves, and man is his own worst enemy.

A good book based on a true story is "Never Cry Wolf" - Farlay Mowet. It is not a long read about 250 pgs or so and interesting. It will hopefully dispell some of the myths about that animal that some of us are so parinoid of, the wolf.
