That is true in urban environments for sure. Except in the cities, dogs here who attack humans are usually shot. When I lived in Georgia, a man familiar with the breed told me that if you want a Pit Bull, buy one from someone who fights dogs, as any dog showing aggression toward a human was always killed. I rescued a Greenland Husky many years ago from Barrow. The vet there asked me if I would give it a try as the villagers wanted it gone. She paid to transport it south where I could pick it up. The dog was beautiful and wonderful around humans, but would attack and kill any other dog it came into contact with. I had to have it put down.
@Don Alaska They eat the bones and even the clothing most of the time. People just disappear.......... As pointed out by John Ross, in his unforgettable book, "Unintended Circumstances", pigs will eat human bodies completely, leaving no evidence behind.....EXCEPT the skulls, the roundness and size of which prevent their being cracked by the pigs' teeth. I suspect wolves mouths lack also such capability, though I would not say "I'm sure". FWIW, animals consuming human bodies destroy all evidence of DNA traces........thus pigs offer excellent means of disposing of murdered (or any) corpses. Gruesome, eh? Frank
Sooooo, Sarah Palin is off the hook now and she can go back to doing whatever she does without a critique?
I can't say for sure, but I have seen dogs eat the skull of a moose, so I suspect wolves have stronger jaws than dogs or pigs.
I took it to a vet to have him euthanized, as no one wanted a dog that killed other dogs. The liability of killing the neighbors pet or the farmer's herd dog was too great. He was a Greenland Husky, and they are bred to be that way. If you see the way the Eskimos in Greenland hitch their dogs, they use a "fan hitch" And, contrary to how things are done here, the Greenlanders put their most hated dog in the lead, and all the other dogs pull their darndest to get to that dog in the front. The mushers have to look the sled and get to the leader" before the team dogs do, and he is tied separate from all the others. Traditionally, the dogs had to be tied away from the sled, too, since the runners and often the entire sled was made from frozen fish. Wood was scarce there and they had an emergency food supply built into their transportation.
