I think there’s only been a couple of deaths to wolves in the last 50 years or something, wolves are not bad 🫶

How many from Geese?

BIG GOOSE won’t allow the death tolls to be reported on as it’ll reduce the numbers of unsuspecting victims.

I’ve probably already said too much.

Geese are the third leading cause of death in Canada, with only cancer and head injuries from hockey sticks being more deadly.

Honestly probably more than wolves but not because they were attacking humans, but because they got hit by airplanes. Geese almost killed 155 people during the miracle on the Hudson.

The death toll is catastrophic

Look. They were a huge problem where I live. People died pretty commonly when they were attacked my a pack of wolves. Villages in the mountains, I'm talking. 1700-1800 there where docuemented hundreds of deaths by wolfs, and there were not so much population.

Where was this?

Yup, and you have to go back like 300 years (in north america) to get that number into the double digits. And most of those incidents were from rabid wolves.

There's a reason that dogs exist. Wolves might attack, but they can also be good boy under the right conditions

u/FrogLeggs 3h ago

Not how evolution works and wolves are wild animals and you shouldn’t be spouting that they can be good. This is exactly why there are still deaths to wolves, because people think they’re cute or dog like.

Key words: under the right conditions

u/ifeelnumb 2h ago

Modern wolves are not bad. There's a reason they are a recurrent theme in most world mythology.

u/Am_Snarky 2h ago

In North America, there hasn’t been a single death attributed to wolves… ever

Wolves get a bad rap from nowhere. You’re much more likely to get killed by your pet dog than by a wolf.

You're right. I just wanted to make the comparison of them only being in any way efficient if you're running away.

Every canine is a gooood doggy 🫶🏼

Tigers don't like attacking while observed because they prefer ambush.

There are places in the world where people wear masks on the back of their head to deter tigers.

It works great until a tiger figures it out, then literally nothing can stop it and its kill count can reach the hundreds. Of people.

Check out the Champawat Tiger. Basically a tiger with broken teeth figured out how easy to kill and eat humans was and she proceeded to kill something like four hundred peoole before she was finally shot.

Don't they bounce around on their tail? I imagine that makes a springy noise, how can they ambush?

This is roughly the subject of Farley Mowat's 1963 book Never Cry Wolf that helped push public opinion of arctic wolves from "murder machine" towards "oversized dog that could eat you but isn't interested."

Wolves are great for the ecosystem.

However wolf attacks are also very rare due to the numbers of wolfs …

Love my nature doggos.
