State suspends hunt for wolves that killed village teacher: Wolves | adn.com

I feel bad for her family. It's one of those freak deaths so it's no longer allowed to be private grieving, ya know? Instead it becomes debate material.



I don't feel bad for the wolves, if they got the right ones.

The state is calling off its search for more Chignik Lake-area wolves that might have been involved in last week's attack that killed a school teacher.

Butler concluded the wolves killed Monday were involved in Berner's death because witnesses said there were two sets of wolf tracks on the road where Berner had been jogging when the attack occurred, and because the two wolves seen that evening matched the descriptions of the wolves killed this week.

While I feel badly about the death of this teacher, I feel worse that they might have killed the wrong wolves and since when do ALL wolves look alike?

Thats where I come in.

Sad anyway you look at it.

I've NEVER been in favor of reintruducing potentially dangerous critters back into an area just because they once roamed there.

Not me. I still feel worse for the family that lost a daughter.

I don't mean to be callous but people can be pretty stupid sometimes.

When I lived in Florida every couple of months the news would report a child being killed by an alligator while they were near the edge of the water.

In no way do I think its deserved because they shouldn't have been there but because we know alligators are in the water then by God that child should not be near the water.

Wild animals do what wild animals do.

The responsibility lies with us to engage in safe practices.

That said, any human killed by a wild animal is a gruesome thing and we should learn from the experience.

I agree that people are morons. But I just don't feel worse over the death of a wolf then I do over the death of a person. Just don't.



Now, if she's out there setting fire to wolves and gets taken down, not so much. But just running along being human - I still have to feel worse for her and her family.

Same thing happens in California frequently regarding mountain lions. People jog up in the hills where they live and hunt and then get attacked yet people still jog and hike there.

I cringe when I hear about an attack because it has got to be a horrific way to die but what the hell are you doing up there?

Gotta agree with you on this Nomie happens all to often in our San Diego Foothills.

But it is not something that was a common occurrence where this girl was killed. I think the original article indicated it was very rare event.



That's not to say that if it happens again in the near future, I won't wonder what the hell the person was thinking of.

your right, its our responsibility to stay safe when close to dangerous animals.

the teacher was walking in a wooded area with an i pod on?



you can't hear anything?:-5



as said in the first thread, I wouldn't even go for a walk here with an ipod, common sense...beware of your surroundings.

still......I feel for her and her family.

Well back to personal responsibility and morons...

Polar Bears - Alaska - Some people feed them so they can get a thrill.

I think the real problem is us not them.
