Deaths of hunting dogs by wolves is less than 0.1% of all deaths. Negligible when you compare it to other causes of deaths. For example deaths by traffic accidents constitute 12%..
I'm a vegan if people gave up hunting game for the dinner that would leave the wolves with plenty of food to live on and be happy they wouldn't be hungry to come killing humans.
Why do you think wolves stopped killing humans in the first place? It's because those that killed humans were hunted to extinction while those who did not were more successful in passing on their genes. This is why most predators have an instinctive fear of humans and avoid us. It's a learned behavior that's engraved in their DNA itself. Stop controlling the populations and that fear will gradually erode away. There's really only one predator that hunts humans with no fear whatsoever - polar bears. And that's because they haven't really had to face or interact with humans. As for "hunting game", that's not the issue at all. Nobody hunts that much for food but rather to control populations. Elk are a massive problem when there are too many of them, not only do they destroy planted forests quite efficiently but they're a traffic hazard leading to many deaths every year when they jump out and run across a road before anybody can react. They cause approximately 1800 accidents every year and multiple fatalities with a large amount of injuries. The more elk there are, the more people will die as a consequence. Currently there are about 90,000 elk in Finland, a country that's 338,000 square kilometers. So on average you'd have one elk per 4 square kilometers, it's not like they're hunted to extinction.
When the wolf is sus! 😳
Just encountered wolf marks on the trail a few days ago.
Nice susi
When you translate wolf in Finnish you get susi
Wolves killed approximetly 50-60 hunting dogs in finland per year. It is quite much amount in this country.
