Wolves in Europe attack people, but wolf attacks on people in Canada are incredibly rare. Wolves in Europe have domestic dog genes, while Canadian wolves do not (or have minor genetic pollution). The esstern coyotes, a hybrid of wolf-coyote-dog, killed a person, while non-hybrid (or coyote-dog) will bite the hand that feeds but don't prey on people.
