We know that wolf attacks are extremely rare yet you comment that It's really more surprising that nobody has ever been attacked before now.
Black bears are much more prevalent in Minnesota yet bear attacks are also extremely rare. The dearth of evidence (low incidence of attack) seems to suggest that wolves foxes coyotes

As a veterinarian and advocate for increased protection for wolves in Minnesota I was glad to see an article that decries the state of wolf conservation and management here.
So it makes more sense to start the shots as a precaution. 5 shots in a 14 day time span.
Don't pay any attention to the reports that coyote attacks are steadily increasing (pets and even small children.
The attack was unusual--wolves pretty much leave humans alone--especially single wolves. So there's a pretty good chance that there was a problem with the animal.

The attack IS CONFIRMED by the Minnesota DNR. Historically there are records of fatal and non fatal attacks on humans by wolves in North america.

History repeats itself. Why is the lower 48 states so important? Do our U s. citizens in the upper 1 state not count nor our friendly Canadian neighbors to the north eh?
Investigators found no evidence in any of the wolves of contributing factors to the attack such as rabies disease defense of food or habituation to human food.
This type of attacks has happened in increasing frequency in the northern sector of Minnesota because wolves have killed its prey base!

How Do You Dispose of Chemical Weapons? In the midst of a particularly brutal civil war international attention focused on the Syrian government's use of chemical weapons against civilians.
With a potential deal on the table for Russia to take and store Syria's chemical weapons here is a look at what chemical weapons are and
what it takes to safely dispose of them. Broadly a chemical weapon is a toxic chemical delivered by an explosion such as a bomb artillery shell or missile.
Chemical weapons injure and kill people through horrific reactions including choking nerve damage blood poisoning and blistering.
The first chemical weapons used in World war i were released gases from canisters. Today chemical weapons are carried typically liquids in bombs or shells.
The chemicals like sulfur mustards commonly called mustard gas) or sarin are dispersed in the air like a mist. Technically this means they aren't gases;
they're liquid aerosol with droplets carried through the air. World war i saw the first major use of chemical weapons with 124000 metric tons of chemical agent unleashed by nations including the UK Germany and France.'
'There's no easy solution there's no pixie dust magic vaporization portal.''Before WORLD WAR II Italy used chemical weapons in Ethiopia and during WORLD WAR II Japan used them in China.
Throughout the Cold war both the Soviet union and the United states developed and stockpiled chemical weapons. While the United states never used them in war a declassified CIA document alleges Soviet use during their invasion and occupation of Afghanistan.
Egypt was the first country to use chemical weapons in war after WORLD WAR II. Egypt joined a civil war in Yemen in 1963 where the Egyptian militarty dropped sulfur mustard bombs on enemy troops sheltering in mountain caves.
Iraq's dictator Saddam Hussein used sulfur mustards and the nerve agent Tabun against Iran in the 1980s during the Iran-iraq war and against the Kurdish people in northern Iraq in 1988.
Chemical weapons appear to have been used against civilians in the ongoing Syrian Civil war between the dictatorial regime of Bashar al Assad and a loose collection of rebel groups.
Syria's chemical weapons stockpile predates the recent conflict. Following a series of military defeats in war against Israel the Syrian government began amassing sulfur mustards sarin and VX (a nerve agent.
Syria could have acquired its first chemical weapons as early as 1973 and publicly admitted to a stockpile in 2012;
a foreign ministry spokesman said the weapons would only be used against foreign intervention. There is! In fact there have been several.
The first treaty banning chemical weapons actually predates their use. At the 1899 Hague Convention signatories agreed to not use Asphyxiating or Deleterious Gases.
Germany France and the UK broke this agreement during WWI. Currently chemical weapons are banned by the Chemical Weapons Convention a treaty adopted by the General assembly of the United nations that took effect in 1997.
It bans the creation and use of chemical weapons mandates their destruction and encourages international cooperation in chemistry and the chemical trades.
Five countries have not signed the treaty: Angola North korea Egypt South Sudan and Syria. The convention is fairly strict about what counts as a chemical weapon.
Agent orange a herbicide and defoliant used by the United states in the Vietnam war does not count as a chemical weapon under the rules of the treaty
despite the fact that it has been linked to cancer heart disease and birth defects. Al Mauroni director of the USAF counterproliferation center in Alabama and author of Chemical Demilitarization:
Public Policy Aspects tells Popular Science that disposal depends on how the weapon was designed: There are two major ways to dispose of chemical weapons:
incineration and neutralization. Incineration uses a tremendous amount of heat to turn the toxic chemical into mostly ash water vapor and carbon dioxide.
Neutralization breaks the chemical agent down using water and a caustic compound like sodium hyrdoxide. Both ways generate a waste product:
incineration generates ash and neutralization leaves a large amount of liquid waste that must be stored or further processed.
It can be though not without some problems. Mauroni describes a process used in Iraq in 1991.
We'd come across a bunch of rockets and you suspect there might be some chemicals in them he says.
The field expedient way if you're in a hurry is to blow it up in place.
Army Explosive Ordinance Demolition teams would use a 10-to-1 ratio of explosives to suspected chemical weapons.
The heat from the explosives will destroy almost all of the chemical agent in the weapons and the very very low concentration of whatever wasn't destroyed was dispersed in the air hopefully harmlessly.
however that this dispersal was one of the many factors behind Gulf war Syndrome an illness seen in veterans of the Persian gulf war.
The Army has a mobile chemical weapons disposal unit. The United states has nine chemical weapons sites where America's stockpile of chemical weapons is being disposed.
While the mobile site is getting press related to Syria Mauroni thinks it has a more mundane purpose.
and Mauroni says they both have leakers in their stored chemical weapons so the mobile unit goes out to neutralize the chemical agent.
what you can do is heat up the metal munitions and burn the tonnage that comes with it.
which are used the components to make a chemical weapon that aren't the weapon itself yet
For the weapons themselves? As far as sarin mustard or VX goes they all have challenges says Mauroni.
The countries that have the most experience getting rid of chemical weapons are the United states and Russia owing to their massive Cold war chemical weapons stockpiles.
According to Mauroni Russia had 40000 tons at its peak while the United states amassed around 30000 tons.
which 16 metric tons of chemical weapons that they gave to the United states for disposal. Destruction was completed in 2007
In 1986 Congress passed a law mandating destruction of chemical weapons in the United states and while a tremendous amount of the stockpile has been destroyed the work will continue well into the next decade with the last site set to start disposal in 2020.
There's going to be an obvious security risk the whole time you're trying to dispose of these things.
It's going to get very expensive very challenging to maintain security to move chemical weapons
Weapons of War-Poison gas Considered uncivilised prior to World war One the development and use of poison gas was necessitated by the requirement of wartime armies to find new ways of overcoming the stalemate of unexpected trench warfare.
First Use by The french Although it is believed popularly that the German army was the first to use gas it was deployed in fact initially by The french.
In the first month of the war August 1914 they fired tear-gas grenades (xylyl bromide) against the Germans.
Nevertheless the German army was the first to give serious study to the development of chemical weapons
Initial German Experiments In the capture of Neuve Chapelle in October 1914 the German army fired shells at The french which contained a chemical irritant
Fired in liquid form contained in 15 cm howitzer shells against the Russians at Bolimov the new experiment proved unsuccessful with the tear gas liquid failing to vaporise in the freezing temperatures prevalent at Bolimov.
Introduction of Poison gas The debut of the first poison gas however-in this instance chlorine-came on 22 april 1915 at the start of the Second battle of ypres.
At this stage of the war the famed Ypres Salient held by The british Canadians and French ran for some 10 miles
A combination of French territorials and Algerian troops held the line to the left with The british
During the morning of 22 april the Germans poured a heavy bombardment around Ypres but the line fell silent as the afternoon grew.
Towards evening at around 5 pm the bombardment began afresh-except that sentries posted among The french
and Algerian troops noticed a curious yellow-green cloud drifting slowly towards their line. Puzzled but suspicious The french suspected that the cloud masked an advance by German infantry
and ordered their men to'stand to'that is to mount the trench fire step in readiness for probable attack.
The cloud did not mask an infantry attack however; at least not yet. It signalled in fact the first use of chlorine gas on the battlefield.
Ironically its use ought not to have been a surprise to the Allied troops for captured German soldiers had revealed the imminent use of gas on the Western Front.
Their warnings were passed not on however. The effects of chlorine gas were severe. Within seconds of inhaling its vapour it destroyed the victim's respiratory organs bringing on choking attacks.
For a memoir of the first gas attack click here. A Missed German Opportunity Panic-stricken The french and Algerian troops fled in disorder creating a four-mile gap in the Allied line.
Had the Germans been prepared for this eventuality they could potentially have effected a decisive breakthrough. However the results of their experiment caused as much surprise to the German high command as confusion among their opponents.
German infantry did advance into the gap but nervously and with hesitance. Outflanking the Canadian
and British troops to their right the ensuing fighting was difficult. Although the Germans succeeded in seizing control of a significant portion of the salient the Allies
nevertheless managed to reform a continuous line though in parts it remained dangerously weak. Condemnation-and Escalation The Germans'use of chlorine gas provoked immediate widespread condemnation
and certainly damaged German relations with the neutral powers including the U s. The gas attacks were placed to rapid propaganda use by The british
The attack had one clear benefit at home however for it brought to an end German hesitancy (and disagreement) over its use.
and the use of poison gas continued to escalate for the remainder of the war. Allied Retaliation Once the Allies had recovered from the initial shock of the Germans'practical application of poison gas warfare a determination existed to exact retaliatory revenge at the earliest opportunity.
The british were the first to respond. Raising Special Gas companies in the wake of the Germans'April attack (of approximately 1400 men) operating under the command of Lieutenant-colonel Charles Foulkes instructions were given to prepare for a gas attack at Loos in September 1915.
Interestingly the men who comprised The british Special Gas companies were allowed not to refer to the word gas in their operations such was attached the stigma to its use.
British Setback at Loos The retaliatory attack began the following morning at 5. 20 am.
A mixture of smoke and chlorine gas was released intermittently over a period of about 40 minutes before the infantry assault began.
and the resultant infantry attack similarly failed. The Need for a New Delivery Mechanism Although it was The british who chiefly suffered on 25 september 1915 all three chief armies-Britain France
and Germany-suffered similar self-inflicted gas reversals during 1915. It became apparent that if gas was to be used a more reliable delivery mechanism was called for.
In consequence experiments were undertaken to deliver the gas payload in artillery shells. This provided the additional benefits of increasing the target range as well as the variety of gases released.
Phosgene Following on the heels of chlorine gas came the use of phosgene. Phosgene as a weapon was more potent than chlorine in that
while the latter was potentially deadly it caused the victim to violently cough and choke. Phosgene caused much less coughing with the result that more of it was inhaled;
it was adopted consequently by both German and Allied armies. Phosgene often had delayed a effect; apparently healthy soldiers were taken down with phosgene gas poisoning up to 48 hours after inhalation.
The so-called white star mixture of phosgene and chlorine was used commonly on the Somme: the chlorine content supplied the necessary vapour with
Mustard gas Remaining consistently ahead in terms of gas warfare development Germany unveiled an enhanced form of gas weaponry against the Russians at Riga in September 1917:
mustard gas (or Yperite) contained in artillery shells. Mustard gas an almost odourless chemical was distinguished by the serious blisters it caused both internally
Protection against mustard gas proved more difficult than against either chlorine or phosgene gas. The use of mustard gas-sometimes referred to as Yperite-also proved to have mixed benefits.
If the war had continued into 1919 both sides had planned on inserting poison gases into 30%-50%of manufactured shells.
The french army occasionally made use of a nerve gas obtained from prussic acid. However three forms of gas remained the most widely used:
The German army ended the war as the heaviest user of gas. It is suggested that German use reached 68000 tons;
It has been estimated that among British forces the number of gas casualties from May 1915 amounted to some 9 per cent of the total
Even so gas victims often led highly debilitating lives thereafter with many unable to seek employment once they were discharged from the army.
Gas never turned out to be the weapon that turned the tide of the war as was predicted often.
and copied by opposing armies in an ongoing cycle. Protection Against Gas The types of protection initially handed out to the troops around Ypres following the first use of chlorine in April 1915 were primitive in the extreme. 100000 wads of cotton pads were manufactured quickly
and made available. These were dipped in a solution of bicarbonate of soda and held over the face.
Soldiers were advised also that holding a urine drenched cloth over their face would serve in an emergency to protect against the effects of chlorine.
By 1918 soldiers on both sides were prepared far better to meet the ever-present threat of a gas attack.
and disgust at the wartime use of poison gases that its use was outlawed in 1925-a ban that is at least nominally still in force today...

Kelsey's level of ignorance when it comes to chemical weapons is astounding. Its as if he just read a few stories without any fact checking
Most countries with a chemical weapons program today use binary agents. That means there is a primary
and a number of secondary agents that mix together to become the weapon. A lot of precursors have secondary uses such as organophosphates.
Are some chemical weapons easier to destroy than other? There are precursor chemicals which are used the components to make a chemical weapon that aren't the weapon itself yet
and those are easier to dispose because they might have industrial applications and can be sold to companies.
I would imagine that the vaporization would leave NO trace of the poisons or their delivery systems!
