When animals attack … Possible Canadian Bear or Wolf edition
From CBC …
The inquest in Prince Albert, Sask. into the death of Kenton Carnegie, who died in a suspected wolf attack, is also hearing the possibility that a bear may have been involved.
Witnesses said there were wolves spotted in the area and they could hear wolves calling when they went to look for Carnegie, who went missing after going for a walk. One witness said it looked like wolves were nearby when Carnegie’s remains were found.
An expert witness said there were bear tracks visible in one of the photographs taken in the area, although none of the witnesses said they saw a bear.
The focus of the inquest also shifted Tuesday to the role that an unregulated garbage dump may have played.
When unregulated garbage dumps attack ?
Signs had been posted noting that wild animals feeding at the dump were losing their natural fear of humans
Trottier said wolves around the work camp were acting as if they had no fear, something that could make them dangerous to humans.
Harold Johnson, the lawyer for the Carnegie family, said he doesn’t think the unregulated garbage dump is an important part of the puzzle.
“It’s a straw man argument,” he said. “There’s garbage dumps everywhere. Wolves don’t kill everywhere … there is a garbage dump. They are trying to draw a connection.”
That back ground in the photo of the wolf is obviously painted.
