S'okay we're all inclined to do it.
Don't the states or counties in America have dog wardens ?

Farmers may only shoot dogs that they suspect of worrying their sheep, etc.,. They report other strays just like the rest of us. Thing is though, even if someone is walking their dog and have it off the leash, if the farmer suspects and shoots it, then the owner has no comeback. It's considered the owner's fault because he/she was irresponsible.

Happens every winter where I live. Some years more than others. It's a behaviour progression. Life gets a little harder in the bush as winter arrives and goes on, and the wolves have to cover more ground and this increases the likelihood of them coming near people. They come across a few dogs whose owners let roam free and fido doesn't get to come home that evening. Pretty soon they realise that people aren't really that observant, and as long as they stay back a bit they can help themselves to a dog or 2. After a while they get used to seeing people around and hanging around houses, and they end up taking dogs off chains in front of people. Just animals taking advantage of an available food source really. They are huge too, and definitely outweigh the majority of dog breeds.
Their size depends as much on which species of wolf as it does on which breed of dog. Many American wolf species are under 100 pounds. Or perhaps I would be more accurate to say, "sub-species." Red Wolves are the first to mind but also some sub-species of Grey Wolves. Though admittedly, the ones being reintroduced and thriving tend to be the larger ones.
100 lps plus round here. Like most animals, the further north you go, the larger they get. Surface area to volume ratio - it pays to be big for heat regulation in a northern climate. They're like a big dog on stilts, and the love to partake of a domestic dog or two.
