I've known Cameramen just like that. Anyone else would look for a fast way out or something heavy to put between them and the danger. And then there's this guy, and guys like him, who are pretty certain they're about to be put in harm's way, hit by pain and run over by agony, but are determined to just get some AWESOME footage of it happening.

[@KenS1267]

@@Soldier4USA2005 Tell you what. Can you present a single documented case of a healthy wolf ever even attacking a person?

[@tareke586]

Soldier4USA2005 No, on all counts. First of all, wolves will not attack a human unless forced to, making the number of fatalities very now, so I can guarantee you these wolves haven’t KILLED people. Second, no, a single wolf will most likely NOT kill a human. So a wolf won’t kill you if he “wants” to.

Arctics don't have the history of other wolves, they've never been persecuted and killed on the same level other wolves have been. So they don't fear humans and instead are curious. When a few other researchers went to a place called Ellesmere Island they befriended a pack who allowed them to follow them around on ATVs sometimes traveling side by side even.

Cause you definitely seem to lack the intelligence that makes human different from a buffalo... It is much better to take the worse case scenario with a wild animal say lion or wolf then with humans... You know why you bafoon because animals don't think like humans do... It may come as a shock but they don't... You don't know when a animal might snap... When it's a human.. You know we are pretty similar average strength wise... You can put up a fight.. With a anime especially a carnivores you won't be that lucky... If you have a good luck you might befriend that wolf... But that wolf can easily tear you limb to limb... So you have to be more careful around animals then you have to be around humans... Just because some humans hurt animals doesn't mean every human does.. Because most humans have the rationality to know what's wrong and what's right... That wolf there might not have eaten in 3 days and right now the cameraman might be looking like lunch to him... How do you know what that wolf is thinking? Can you talk to him? Reason with him? Tell him you will order some pizza? I don't think so

Arta Soufiloo You're not a scientist. Therefore you don't have the knowledge required to make such assertions. And even a scientist can't make such assertions. And if you knew biology and physics better, you would know that no scientist said that life and the Universe came out of "nowhere". Thing is, science is made of holes and gaps, because it is difficult to explain everything. And religious people tend to use these holes to discredit science. But with time and technology, we are able to fill these holes with valid and scientific explanations, something religion is unable to do because to religious people everything is the creation of god and there are no holes, things that are too complicated to understand are a proof that god exists to them. That is what braindead creationists want to believe from science. I am not saying that there is no form of "god" that exists, I simply don't know and can't know for sure. Nobody can. What I'm saying is that denying the scientific facts that explain why and how life evolved on this planet is the dumbest thing to do. But *maybe* something is behind it, we'll probably never know...
