The one we had in Alaska last year where a 32 yr old teacher was killed on the edge of her village wasn't questionable at all...
While there may only be 5 deaths in the last 100 yrs (I have no clue if that's a valid #) there have been FAR more attacks
As to how much damage 3000 wolves can really do, you would be amazed. Remember, their range is fairly small. The elk herds in Montana & much of Idaho are flat being decimated.
