The news just broke that a 56-year-old Russian woman from the village of Novo Biryuzyak in Dagestan managed to kill a wolf armed with nothing except an axe.

As Aishat Maksudova explains, the animal attacked her cattle, leaving her with no choice but to fight back or risk losing her means of making a living.

Although the wolf grabbed hold of her and bit one of her hands, the woman was not in the least frightened and continued to wrestle with it.

After trying to control the wolf with her bare hands, the woman picked up an axe and used it to kill the animal.

“I was not even frightened. I stood like this, holding an axe like this,” the woman says. Furthermore, “With an open mouth, the wolf suddenly jumped at me.”

The video below shows Aishat narrating the entire incident.

The wolves have as much right to live on this planet as any human has after all they were here first way before we took over the land and took over their resources and means of survival, so No I don't applaud the actions of this woman No. This is a tragedy and a sad story, her cruelty and brutality is unacceptable, the wolves don't deserve any of this cruelty against them. This breaks my heart how this majestic creature was brutally butchered so sad :"(.LONG LIVE ALL WOLVES!!!

Poor wolf :"( I love wolves and this is heartbreaking for me. If the world wasn't overpopulating by the billions taking over all the land and abusing every resource available for the survival of this amazing species the wolves among other Wildlife, than this animals will not have the need to go near human territory but it's the way around, humans are invading their territory and expect such intelligent creatures to "respect "their property, the cattle which a predator only sees a means of survival, an opportunity to take down a prey not someone's cow! Sad ending really a true tragedy for the wolf. Heartbreaking none the less. Brutal woman, horrible ending for the majestic brother wolf.
