Wolves hunting children hasn't been a problem anywhere at any time. Wolves have been hunted to extinction or near extinction because they were a competitor for game and a threat to livestock but hardly a danger to humans.
Wait wait wait, hold on, don't go too extreme here.
A wolf that is sufficiently starving will eat anything that it can, though rarely will eat another wolf (though NAWA DID actually encounter a single case of "wolf cannibalism" with wolves kept up in some of the worst conditions by "animal handlers", but that's a different issue). There have been some cases of children or other people being attacked by wolves, though they are admittedly extremely rare,
except in times of incredible famine.
In Medieval Germany, famine was spread all throughout the nation, in every town, village, and city; wolves were desperate, and would often attack livestock, but sometimes they encountered villages where there was no livestock. There were times (though I believe they were rare) that a wolf pack would wander through a village, attacking everyone that they could while roaming the streets. A scary thought, but those were incredibly scary times.
As for pets, that's still an issue. I'd think that wolves would be likely to attack pets, but they're far more likely to avoid humans, especially here in the U.S. And as far as I know, deer aren't mainly hanging around cities, so I don't see what the problem here is, really. If you live in the suburbs, the whole
point, usually, is to be "closer to the wildlife".
Anyway, bison and carabou aren't cute and fluffy. They are big and smelly so you can eat them and get completely constipated for all I care.
