Thomas G. Atteberry conveys two stories relative to President Roosevelt’s argument in his article, “With the Cougar Hounds,” that wolves do not attack humans out of hunger. One is the story of a woman who dropped her child for wolves to eat so she could escape when traveling in Montana. Atteberry has also been followed by mountain lions while hunting.
