Fabsroman: "Heck, I believe dogs would attack humans under the right conditions"

That is a good example of how fear affects perception and emotional reactions.

Dogs DO attack humans every day, and I mean EVERY DAY somewhere. Some cities are banning breeds known to attack humans in almost random events. Feral dogs are very dangerous in packs. Dogs are infinitely more dangerous to humans than wolves or bears or cougars or sharks (or sting rays), yet no one is suggesting we kill all dogs.

Why is it that with the very rare examples we have of wolves attacking humans we feel the need to wipe them out? Why do wolves evoke such emotion?

Because of Goldilocks.
