Kenton Carnegie Killed By Wolves

December 12, 2007

Kenton Joel CarnegieNearly one year ago, I reported that a 22-year old college student, Kenton Joel Carnegie, was attacked and killed by wolves in a remote area of Northern Saskatchewan, Canada.

It has taken all this time for autopsy results and testimony from assorted experts but finally a six-person jury has agreed that Carnegie’s death was that of at least two wolves.

Paul Paquet of the University of Calgary has stated that he believes the death is consistent with that of a black bear. Recently retired wolf biologist Mark McNay from Fairbanks, Alaska was called to testify. His testimony states that he is certain Carnegie died from a wolf attack. A jury agreed with McNay.

This now marks the first official case of a human death as the result of being attacked by wild wolves in North America.

    wow all i can say is that this is amazing there is an other artical about this
    http://www.cbc.ca/sask/features/wolves/2.html it’s just unheard of healthy wolves attacking a human but i do wonder about Paul Paquet of the University of Calgary’s idea of a black bear. it is possible and more likly that a bear would attack a person then wolves. maybe the bear killed him and then the wolves decided to have some super umm i don’t know it’s just weird.
    and why do they need a jury for this lol it’s stupid y not just figure it out from the bites and other information gathered both at the site and durning autopsy.????

    I’m incredulous. A wild animal attacking a human?

    Wild animals are not DIsney animals. Isn’t that what hunters keep preaching?

    Regardless, attacks of any wild animals are rare. But we are living in reality where animals are real — not Disney characters.

    And it is very rare. Again, domestic dogs are responsible for far more attacks and fatalities of people. But I don’ t hear anyone calling for their demise.

    Bea or Barb or whoever you are pretending to be today. You know I can stop you from coming to these sites if I want to but I don’t like doing that and actually never have.

    I find you to be an insensitive and cruel, person to the point that you care less about humans than your beloved animals. Isn’t it great we live in a country where we can do that!

    You stated on a previous comment at the Black Bear Blog that you agreed with almost nothing I ever wrote yet you continue to come to that site and now others. I find this odd behavior and I think you should reconsider what you do.

    Perhaps not in the classic sense, you are a troll. There once was a time when it was considered rude and unacceptable to do what you are doing. Most high profile blogs do screen those permitted to post and you are part of the reason that is done.

    You are right in that I am secure enough in what I do that I don’t need to “ban” you but in reality Bea/Barb, you offer nothing of an value to this site or any of my other sites. Nobody who reads what you write will agree with you unless they too are trolls.

    I don’t think your intentions are to derail my website and my efforts but in all honesty, I think it is time for you to go away and find something more productive to do. I do not and would not consider visiting someone else blog or website only to argue EVERYTHING that is written and presented on a daily and multiple times per day basis. It gets very old and tiring.

    Most people who come to my kind of websites do because they enjoy reading about issue that directly affect them as hunters and fishermen. They also like to learn and interact with others of the same cloth, so to speak. Evidently your objective is to disrupt that with your continued opposition to everything we do.

    It is actually better that you posted a comment on this site, one that is visited far less than the Black Bear Blog, as I honestly did not want to offer this there but here where fewer people will see it.

    Unlike you, I am not out to embarrass or ridicule what you believe in. You have made it clear. You prefer the rights of animals over humans and while I can’t agree nor understand, I won’t spend all my time trying to convince you otherwise.

    I think I have made myself clear and I am asking you in a polite way to stop with what you are doing. You are accomplishing nothing except driving my readers away. If that is your aim, with one simple keyboard key, I can ban you which will remove every post you have ever made. I don’t really think you want that.

    Thank you for your consideration of me and what I do for a living!

Got something to say?
