While it is sad news,
this is good fuel for the de-listing lawsuit.
That news makes me very sad. My husband and I lived in a log cabin in the Clearwater region. It had been vacant and used as a hunting cabin for ten years previously. A short while after we moved in we discovered we had moved in on the wolves camp.
We never had a problem with them. I ran into them on foot several times. I am a 5’6″. 130 pound woman. I had livestock and dogs also. One day they took down an orphaned little buck but nothing else.
Anyway, I think it is a disgrace that humans brought them back and are now hunting them. If nothing else, why don’t we relocate them to states who want them which are several. I know several people who go to Yellowstone just to see the wolves. Why aren’t the kill pics on the news? I hope the lawsuit kicks in soon.
Sincerely,
Adair Wadkins
At this rate, they will be able to remove the entire WY population outside YNP in just a couple of years. Not exactly sound management.
I agree with Nathan. This only increases the likelihood that the court will remand the delisting decision.
