Sounds like something you made up.

Wolves are beautiful wild creatures which I have been blessed with a few chances to see in nature. Which is why I would not liked them introduced into human rich environment because whatever happens I don't think it will end well for either side.

Had some Wolves escape from Colchester Zoo a few years back... well some did.. some just stayed in their enclosure licking their arses... the five that got out three got shot... the other two just wandered back a bit bored... of the three that got shot apparently one was having a snooze under a bush... one of the others was sitting like a good dog by a tree... BANG!!

So then you are scared of every animal you encounter because you don't kill them?
Hamsters?

There is an inherent danger with any animal.
So you are right probably because humans interact a lot more with cows than they do will with wolves around the world.
However, introduce wolves into a human dominated environment and there will be problems, I think.

Vicious fuckers... no wonder we eat them...
Case 1. In August 2005, a woman in Missouri aged 65 years was removing a dead, newborn calf from a pasture when a cow knocked her down, stomped her, and butted her while she was lying on the ground. The coroner reportedly stated that death resulted from blunt force trauma to the woman's head and chest. No autopsy was performed.
Case 2. In November 2005, a man in Iowa aged 65 years was helping his son sort beef cattle for loading onto a truck. He was attempting to guide one of the animals toward the truck when it turned into him, crushing him against the barn door. According to witnesses, he stopped breathing immediately. The medical examiner's report stated that death was caused by blunt force trauma to the man's chest.
Case 3. In April 2006, a man in Iowa aged 63 years was herding cattle into his dairy barn for milking when a bull came into the barn and repeatedly butted him, pinned him against a fence, and stomped him. According to the attending physician's death record, the man sustained multiple rib fractures, lacerated pulmonary arteries, and head injuries. The man's family said that the bull was known to be dangerous and had been threatening in the past.
Case 4. In August 2007, a man in Iowa aged 45 years who was working alone in a pasture was attacked by a bull that had been bottle-fed and raised by the family but, according to family members, had become more aggressive recently. The attack was not witnessed, but the man was able to call his wife for assistance on his cell phone before he died and told her he had been attacked. According to the state medical examiner's autopsy report, he died of blunt force injuries to the chest.

I never said you did.
I was mocking you for killing hamsters and being scared to kill things which could kill you.

A human attack would be the unlikely worst case scenario. They seem very skittish when I have seen them in the wild.
That being said, one of the reasons they are so rare in North American is that the human population, where it crosses over with wolves is, usual quite sparse. That would not necessarily be the case in the UK and especially a place like around Southend.

So you hunt to protect crops and livestock but not the gangs of murderous wolves eating people?
How butch.

I have hunted to eat the meat and to protect crops and livelihoods, however your admittedly agenda-addled mind has spun that, I could care less.

Not really, I just don't bother reading back past the current page.
Which may well be senile.
I see where you're coming from!
