Never been even ONE recorded instance of a non rabid wolf killing a human being. FACT...go look it up.
Let's see, the teacher jogging by herself in AK in 2010.
The guy at at a mining camp in northern Canada in '05, I believe it was.
The gal that was killed by a pack of captive wolves she was tending to in Canada in 1996.
The hunters in MT in 2010 who had to shoot their way out of a pack of wolves that followed them for a long way. And many, many other situations of agressive wolf behavior that is becoming more common.
People are killed every year in other parts of the world, espeically in the regions where the old Soviet Union existed. Wolf attack are common there. Well known wildllife biologist and wolf expert, Dr. Val Geist, is from Russia and because of that has a little different take on wolves than many north american biologists.
This is just basic biology, as wolf populations increase at an unchecked ~ 25% population increase per year in the US, we are more and more likely to have more negative human/wolf interaction.
There are a few good reasons that modern history in North America has recorded few fatal wolf attacks on human, one of which is that most of modern history here man has had firearms to keep wolves at bay. During most of the time when so many people where killed in Europe, firearms were either not available or governments did not allow them (interesting to research this a bit more--thankfully, we have the 2nd Ammendment at this point.)

Warning: Very Graphic
Wolves Deny Young Lives
I could go on, but I grow tired. If these facts (as you say) don't sway you a bit, then there is no point to discuss this with you.
Hunter's who do not understand this situation need to be educated. Hunters who blindly support wolves as they are now have a lot to learn. History clearly shows these animals must be aggressively managed or there will be very little hunting left to do. And that is exactly what the folks that introduced them want. They want maximum numbers of wolves and no hunters, no 2nd ammendment, no grazing on federal lands, etc.
The wolf is a merely a biopolitical tool of the left. Hunters, do no allow yourselves to be deceived. Many hunters would be OK with the 300 wolves ('experimental population' number originally agreed upon), but lawsuits by extreme environmental groups and misguided counting methods have increased that number by 6-10+ times, while severely impacting elk and deer herds.
Elk harvest in ID has dropped precipitously. Do you see the connection?
