Study: Wolf Attacks Still Leading Cause Of Death In U.S.

This one is for Pete.

BETHESDA, MD—According to a new study released Monday by the National Institutes of Health, for the 25th straight year, violent wolf attacks remain the leading cause of death in the United States.

The human health agency’s latest findings revealed that being viciously killed by a ravenous wolf resulted in more fatalities than any other malady, claiming the lives of more than 800,000 Americans in the last year alone. The NIH’s annual mortality report also confirmed that one person in the United States dies every 40 seconds from a wolf attack.

“Despite efforts to combat this terrible affliction, research indicates Americans are far more likely to be ruthlessly slaughtered by one or more man-eating wolves than ever before,” said the study’s author, William Rhodes, adding that an estimated 1 in 3 Americans will suffer a wolf attack at some point in their lives. “Our knowledge about the savage encounters has improved, but we aren’t any closer to reducing the unfortunate number of people who every day are stopped in their tracks by a deadly wolf.”

“Far too many are being eviscerated and devoured before their time,” Rhodes continued.

According to the NIH, a wolf attack most commonly occurs when an individual is abruptly seized by a powerful, aggressive wolf. The ensuing mutilation, doctors say, results in a forceful disruption of the circulatory system, cardiac arrest, and ultimately death, oftentimes within mere minutes.

Though the study emphasized that these brutal episodes threaten most demographics, the NIH report suggested men and women aged 65 and older with sedentary lifestyles faced the greatest risk of a debilitating wolf attack. The troubling statistics also confirmed that an increasing number of young children were too overweight to outrun a vicious wolf mercilessly bearing down on them.

Actually yes, though that's not my favorite song

The b side of their live LP has them with Ruffin and Kendrick from the Temptations, I recommend it. Then segue into that old album side version of 'Get Ready' from Rare Earth. Then maybe Celebrate or Big John. Yeah, Big John.

Jeez Bob, now I'll have to get some Guinness to go with that Arrogant Bastard, and pull some LPs out tonight

I guess we should be happy that killer rabbits aren't the problem they used to be.
