[pct-l] wolf attack



Thanks for this article.  A good case for the end of what seems just as 
stupid - bear canisters and bear lockers.  If all hikers and campers carried 
bear spray or guns and kept their food with/near them, luring and then 
frightening the bears nearly to death if they chose to come near humans, the 
bears would re-learn fear of man!  They, like many wolves, have no fear of 
man left because there are no natural unfortunate consequences to the bear 
that result from contact!  Thus, they feel free to come right up to our 
tents/bags/packs and forage.  Why not??

Surfing for some other info I came across this story on San Francisco Gate.

Wolf attack a tragic, cautionary tale

the incident happened back in November but it is still instructive.
