IMHO anyone who can't observe simple common sense rules for sharing territory with wolves needs to stay out of their territory. Stay indoors, run on your treadmill and when you do go outside stay in your SUV.

Chasing and scaring runners too stupid to respect the wolves and act appropriately doesn't qualify.

Now, just to play devils advocate here:

The Wolfs showed a "great deal of disrespect and a lack of caution" when dealing with humans. Instinct of humans is to remove threats to themselves.

"Chasing and scaring runners is too stupid for Humans to respect the wolves "

Humans are the top of the preditor chain, both because we DO know when to back off (most of the time), OR we pre-plan and eliminate threats. 50-60 years ago, we would not even be having this discussion - that pack of wolves would already be dead, and their pelts on the way to market
