2014-08-13 - Pack of ravenous wolves attacks village in Xinjiang (China), 6 injured, one man's ear torn off:
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/index.php?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=BH-20140813-44909-CHN
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2723818/Wolf-pack-attacks-Chinese-villagers-tearing-victim-s-ear-leaving-two-seriously-injured.html

Quote: "A pack of ravenous wolves plunged a remote grasslands village in Xinjiang, the far-western region of China, into terror on Monday night with a rare summertime attack. By the time the wolves made their escape into the night, six villagers were left injured: lacerated by claws and teeth. The five wolves, thought to have been enticed by the scent of the sheep kept by the villagers, stole into the village of Kalazhuole at 2am. Their low howling woke the inhabitants, who rushed out to protect the flock but found themselves confronting a pack too hungry to be easily deterred."
