Is there a citation for a single attack on a human? I'd looked before, some years back, and was unable to find any.

  No. A wolf has never attacked a human. They’re our friends. :)

  There were a couple attacks here in Canada just this year. It's very rare but it happens. One guy was dragged out of his tent by a wolf while camping with his two kids and wife. That's extremely rare. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/wolf-attack-rampart-creek-banff-1.5245105 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/wolf-attack-rampart-c... There are also hunters that go missing in areas where there aren't known to be other predators. Some of those cases might be wolves. There are also cases where we find the remains of a hunter surrounded by dead wolves that he'd shot in a savage fight to the death that he lost. Again, it's rare. The most dangerous large mammal apart from us in North America is deer, because of people killed hitting them in cars or swerving to avoid them. More wolves might improve that.

  It happens. They are predators and we are relatively defenseless. Given enough motivation and circumstances, it will happen. Not an argument to destroy them, but we should base discussions on reality. "The first fatal attack in the 21st century occurred on November 8, 2005, when a young man was killed by wolves that had been habituated to people in Points North Landing, Saskatchewan, Canada[46] while on March 8, 2010, a young woman was killed while jogging near Chignik, Alaska." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_attack https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_attack
