8. North American wolves are generally shy and avoid people

unlike their European cousins.

Wolves are the only proven way to curtail coyote populations by competing for food sources, and coyotes are a much more serious problem out west than wolves are.

My guess is that Scooby and Buster were killed by coyotes. It often looks as if coyotes kill for fun, leaving grisly remains that show no signs of being partially eaten. Were I a rancher, I'd rather have a local wolf pack take one animal (old, young, or just slow) for food rather than have couotes take half a dozen for sport.

Bang-Bang Boebert needs a dunce cap, as usual.
