  — Wolf attacks appear to be on the increase in and around Fairbanks and Anchorage, Alaska.   Most of these attacks have been on dogs, with some humans also victims.  Ordinarily wolves don’t attack people, but rather a species like elk.  Once they find that a domestic dog is an easier kill, however, they may be more inclined to go for such a meal.

In a recent attack, three female joggers were quietly surrounded by a wolf pack.  They were able to keep the wolves at bay with pepper spray they were fortunate enough to be carrying, and they retreated slowly by walking backwards and screaming.  The women were able to get back to their cars over a mile away from the attack site.
