Village Reacts to Rabid Wolf AttackANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Children in the village of Marshall do not go out alone without an adult. They have been told to stay inside after dark. When night falls, three sentries are posted along the village periphery to keep the wolves out.
Precautions have been taken in the Eskimo village in western Alaska after a pack of wolves last week attacked sled dogs, killing three adults and three puppies. A wolf killed by villagers turned out to be rabid.
"There is a concern about the pack that is left remaining that is wandering out there," he said. "That pack is still out there and might have the rabies."
On Friday morning, fresh wolf tracks were spotted a quarter-mile from town, said Ray Alstrom, mayor of Marshall.
