Wolves Kill Dogs Brutal Weekend Attack Leaved Family’s shaken is this what it’s all about is this what we want for our “ecosystem”?
Apr 17th, 2008 by admin
Last weekend a woman witnessed these wolves attack and kill two of her dogs just outside of her window, near Ashton, ID. She tried to scare them off and they ignored her (she’s probably lucky they did since she wasn’t using the correct deterrent).
Our ancestors did their best to get rid of the problem and then we re-created the problem that we are going to have to address, AGAIN.
This incident occurred east of Ashton. The wolves traveled down the reclamation road last night and killed 9 dogs. This one survived the night, was posted by Dr. Griffel. DON’T LOOK IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH. Idaho Dog Attack CAUTION GRAPHIC

Two family’s dogs are dead after a pack of wolves attacked the animals.
The wolves attacked the dogs Wednesday morning at two different homes in the same area just east of Ashton.
Cathy Stegelmeier, Wolves Attacked Dog: “The dogs started to bark quite a bit and I thought that they had a skunk. I went out there and there were three wolves dragging my dog.”
It was a frightening morning for Cathy Stegelmeier who was busy cooking for guests staying at her bed and breakfast. Cathy went outside and right in front of her house was shocked to find three wolves dragging her dog Blue.
Cathy Stegelmeier: “At first glance I thought they might be coyotes.”
Cathy quickly realized the animals were much larger. She started to yell but the wolves didn’t seem scared.
Cathy Stegelmeier: “They looked at me for a little while and then they finally went to the other side of the road.”
Britney Stegelmeier: “I woke up because the dogs were barking.”
Cathy’s sister-in-law Britney Stegelmeier lives at the Bed and Breakfast. She’s nine months pregnant and is worried that the wolves are coming so close to her home.
Britney Stegelmeier: “This is where I’m gonna have my kid and if they’re not scared to come to my front door, they’re not gonna be scared to drag me off.”
Cathy immediately took Blue to the vet but his throat was ripped so bad he had to be put down.
With two attacks and now two dogs dead, Cathy, Britney, and their neighbors are worried the wolves will return and attack another animal or even a person.
Cathy Stegelmeier: “They were not afraid. That’s why it was frightening.”
Right now the Idaho Department of Fish and Game is investigating.
Cathy’s family says they reported the attack because when the wolves were introduced to Yellowstone National Park, wolf advocates said there were no documented wolf attacks. The Stegelmeier’s want this attack documented.

Wow just like the book Wolves In Russia first they kill the dogs then they go after the people.
I read a really good older newspaper article 1900’s about Minneapolis, MN the wolves that winter had invaded the town and people had to climb trees. They were warned to go in groups and be armed.
Everyone better pray no wolf catches rabies and goes on a rampage especially in a school yard.
Funny how the wolf shot at morgan creek by Stanley Idaho is big news across the state but media avoids this article about the wolves in this persons yard killing her pets, funny how poached elk and moose don’t even get the same coverage a poached wolf gets. Ralph Maughan is sporting the Idaho story right now, it is a mt express article here, the wolf freaks are screaming this will happen to hundreds of wolves. At least I learned something this week, advocates of free roaming killer dog packs on the loose and un-managed really can see a bloody photo of a slaughtered animal wasting away in the snow, to bad only a dead wolf gets them upset. These people have no clue on balance period, I hope the advocates of wolves are stocking up on Alpo, because they are gonna need it in a few years to keep their wolf who has killed off all other animal species across the ranges from starving to death, I got bullets for em, when they come for horses I got bullets for em, The buggers are already walking by here looking thru the fence on their way by now, but they still got a few elk left, the herd of elk that lives here around my home has dropped from 160 head down to about 55 head, they were just out back a couple days ago, no bulls, one yearling, all old cows. Some balance.
The wolf-advocates are well organized and well-funded.
Wolf Crossing IS the balance needed.
