The idea that a healthy wolf will not attack humans is just plain false.

No, it is basically true. It is not *guaranteed* true though!
In general, if you don't have an habituated wolf or a sick wolf,
there is little to fear. (Which basically does mean that any
wolf you can get close to is *extremely* dangerous!)

Floyd,

How does habituated / socialized equal unhealthy?
In the State report I linked to there are numerous attacks by healthy,
(i.e., capable of hunting), wolves.

I'm saying that rabid wolves attack people, *and* so do wolves
that are socialized. Two distinct causes with the same effect.

Note my point about getting close to a wolf. If you can, it is
generally either sick and doesn't care, or is socialized and not
affraid of you. Both indicate a very dangerous situation.
