AR-News: (US CA) Wolf organization seeks to dispel myths

ACCORDING TO statistics, a person is more likely to be struck by lightning, 
hit by a meteorite or killed by a falling soda machine than to be bitten by a 
wolf. 
But children are unimpressed with statistics. The kids brave enough to stand 
in line this past weekend at the Bayside Performing Arts Center in San Mateo 
for a chance to pet a live wolf still approached the animals tentatively; they 
remembered what happened to Little Red Riding Hood. 
The five wolves were placid and approachable, however, after Saturday's last 
performance of the Coyote Point Museum's presentation of "Wolves," produced by 
Never Cry Wolf Rescue and Adoptions (NCWRA). The show and petting zoo put 
nervous children to rest -- along with centuries of misconceptions created by 
nursery rhymes.
