What this story does not mention is the wolf was lame after escaping from a trap and was living in the town dump. This is the first attack ever recorded by a wolf. Wolf tests negative for rabies Last Updated Jan 12 2005 04:24 PM CST CBC News PRINCE ALBERT – Two wolves caught after a Saskatchewan man survived a vicious wolf attack did not have rabies, tests show. Fred Desjarlais said the wolf that attacked him didn't look healthy According to Dr. Bob Allen, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency's veterinarian for the Prince Albert district, final tests on the two wolves came back negative earlier this week. The tests were ordered after a Saskatchewan man, Fred Desjarlais, was attacked by a timber wolf as he jogged home from work at Cameco's Key Lake facility on New Year's Eve. The wolf came out of a ditch and bit Desjarlais several times all over his body. Desjarlais grabbed the beast around the neck and wrestled it into submission. He was able to hold it at bay until some fellow workers came along and scared it away. Desjarlais received stitches and was taken to hospital. He has been undergoing a series of rabies shots. Desjarlais said the wolf appeared to be hungry and sick. It was limping when it approached him. Two wolves in the area were later killed and tested for rabies at the CFIA laboratory in Lethbridge. Key Lake is about 550 kilometres north of Saskatoon. Allen said he's never heard of anyone being attacked by wolf. As well, there has never been a rabies case involving a wolf in Saskatchewan, he said. sask.cbc.ca
