"Photographs show wolves killed in Idaho"

What you read on Snopes may be misleading (or at least the way you're interpreting it's falsehood).  The first three pics definitely WERE of "A" wolf killed in Idaho.  Yes, that was the actual size, but no, that was not a hunter who killed it with a tag.  He is a government trapper, who had just killed a "problem" wolf.  The photo definitely wasn't taken in 2011, that took place a few years prior, just before there was a legal wolf hunt in any of the Tri-states of MT, ID, or WY.  Here's two more pics of the SAME trapper in Wyoming.

What exactly is a "problem wolf"?
 

This article is mostly inaccurate. Wolves do not "breed constantly". Only the alpha male and female in each pack reproduce and the mortality rate of the pups is very high. I'd love to see a documented case of a wolf attacking a human in the US unless the wolf were rabid. The species avoids human contact at all cost.

This doesn't pass the smell test. If those wolves wanted that dog or those women, they'd have had them. What sort of an idiot walks dogs in an area known to be inhabited by wolves? Isn't there enough open space to walk dogs in safer places? They admitted they knew wolves were seen there and that's why their dogs were leashed. If a pack of wolves decided to take down a dog, the dog would have ended up dead, not with a laceration.

I'd have to see actual photos of this to believe it's not a publicity stunt.

I understand the need for population control every now and again, but these trophy wolf pictures always make me really sad. They are always so disrespectful to the magnificent creature they just gunned down. Im going to second those people and their dog got away pretty easy from a so called "wolf attack" And why on earth would ou ever be walking your dogs in a known high wolf sighting area anyway? 20 bucks says they would have never seen the wolves had they not had there dogs with them. Lets not regress to everyone trying to kill wolves on sight because a few idiots are trying to create mass hysteria over events that don't make any sense.

Nothing like some good old fashioned fear mongering!  *rolleyes*

You have much more to fear from domestic dogs or wolf-dog hybrids that wolves in the wild. GSD's have much higher number for documented attacks on humans than wolves, and despite that, I'm guessing nobody here is afraid of GSD's!  :)

My brother send it this pic to me. (And no lol that is not him in the picture)
