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.

Floyd, I think you and I sat together on a flight to Anchorage about 3
years ago. We talked about Alaskan natives and their problems with
alcohol and unemployment. I believe the flight started in Salt Lake,
but I'm not sure. We were in first class.
