A lone black wolf that attacked six people, including several young children, in a provincial park over the long weekend has tested negative for rabies, the Algoma Health Unit said Wednesday.

Why does your dog feed when you serve him a dish of Alpo? Posted by Orrin Judd at September 7, 2006 12:12 PM
He thinks he's eating Lorne Green?

Posted by: Twn at September 7, 2006 2:05 PM"there's no insanity defense for this Wolf" The insane ones are those Canadians who insisted that the wolf not do what it's supposed to do as a wolf. Just like that guy up in Alaska treating wild bears as his pets. Wolves are not puppies, bears are not pets.

Yes? Unlike Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, who traveled into an area of the environment, he had no control over. If you find young wolves, you can assert some control over them, but not total control. The sting ray will never be able to fetch the paper, or your slippers. Damn, it's hard to type after drinking beer.
