Yellowstone National Park’s most popular and favored wolf, valued by scientists who tracked her movements and loved by many tourists, was shot and killed on Thursday outside the park’s boundaries, Wyoming wildlife officials reported.
Did 832F have pups?
“The pack has at least four pups, two black and two gray, which were probably born about April 20. They make a great addition to the pack of nine, which also includes black 754M (brother of 755M), the gray 2-year-old females 776F and “Middle Gray,” and four yearlings (gray 820F, gray female, black male and black female). Unfortunately, the pack apparently lost a second black female yearling, who has not been seen since April.” via Kathy Lynch’s June 2012 Yellowstone Wolf Update

How very sad.
And right now the trophy hunters, populist Michigan state politicians demonizing them, and those they have been able to frighten or trade influence with, are trying to ram home (in the lame duck session) a completely unnecessary, hunting season in the last major US state with a significant population of wolves, Michigan, where the packs are not being tattered by random hunting.Inexplicable except for a desire by some well-connected people make sure wolves are miserable, and are protected nowhere.
A couple days after the DNR announced that in the Upper Peninsula where the wolves are the deer harvest was up 10% this year.
Already pushed through the State senate and the House committee, all they have to do is vote in the House and it is on the Governor’s desk for his signature.
The last wolves
What a very sad thing. Thanks for reporting this.
I was very sad when I heard this news report. Wolves are being killed everywhere. In BC, Canada, there is a wolf killing contest going on right now, it is absolutely reprehensible!
