Okay, if a 60-70 pound pit bull can rip a person apart, what is to keep a 75-125 pound wolf from doing the same, especially if there are several of them?

I’ve been doing great, and loving Alaska. Both work and play have been going really well.
I keep an eye on FR, and listen to Rush for my news. During the summer, I was never home, so I don’t have internet anymore. Now that its getting colder, I think I should look into it again.
It will be more common when there are more wolves.

Why couldn't it have been Carter and a bunny?
The USW&WS have been releasing Canadian wolves in Yellowstone Park, knowing that the wolves will leave the Park.
One was killed on Interstate 70 west of Denver recently with its id tags still on.
I'm not certain how much sarcasm there is in your question, if any, but diet and body scent are directly related. One of the first things an American traveling to Korea will notice about Koreans, especially in close proximity like an elevator) is an odor of garlic, pepper and rice. Koreans think most Americans smell like spoiled meat or milk.
Humans on average, have one square inch of scent receptor tissue with about 5 million scent receptor cells. A large canid like a wolf will have upwards of six square inches with 150 million scent receptor cells. There is no doubt in my mind that a wolf could differentiate between a vegetarian and a normal person.
No, it was a semi-serious question. Most predators will not hunt other predators if any other prey is available. I wonder if vegan granola-crunchers out hiking just don’t smell like predators to mtn lions or wolves. Or do they smell like prey?
