Wolves worrying pet owners

A wolf pack roaming an area east of Fairbanks has likely figured out that dogs are an easy meal. Wolves there have killed 2 pet dogs in recent weeks and tried to carry off a third.

    People in Fairbanks used to have more sense than to feed the wolves (somewhere I once read Fbx had a number of resident packs). Chaining dogs 200 to 300 ft from the house (and not listening to their alarm calls) and repeatedly sending dogs out unleashed to entice the packs should lead to human habituated wolves. The news today that wolves follow pedestrians is hardly a surprise.

    (The same thing happens with areas of resident coyotes and bears. Dog and cat owners should quit feeding the wildlife.)
