There have been at least 24 non-fatal wolf attacks by healthy wolves since 2000 in north America alone: en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_wolf_attacks_in_North_…

Teyrnon is wrong because they claimed that there are no documented attacks of a healthy wolf attacking a person in northern America. In fact, there have been three lethal and 24 non-lethal documented attacks by healthy wolfs since 2000 in north America.

One of the fatalities is this
There’s a bunch of captivity based attacks that were not fatalities.
Most of the attacks were solitary joggers, hikers, dog walkers etc that would have been triggering a chase instinct. One of the incidents was ambush on two people:
It’s not completely out of the question that a wolf was investigating a nice smell, and after getting the prize left. Definitely fits the pattern of the animals slowly acclimatizing to human activity. That wolf wasn’t dangerous then, but it would become dangerous.

Yes, “no xyz” is usually an overstatement. Your counterargument seems to suggest wolf attacks are common, however, which they are not.
