Its a shame people shoot on sight wolves,....left alone, i don't think they'd prefer some cow or sheep,.....unless of course, it was a drought stricken year and it affected the grazing for native elk, bison and deer. Thumbs up to ya Earthjustice and thankin' my pal Taranau for the AWESOME share! =)

I will always take care of wolves. It's harder to save alife than to take one. Greedy ranchers. Live & let live . God created beautiful creatures.

SERVES HIM RIGHT! Too bad he cant tell his buddies what will happen if they keep depressing elk herds.

"As a result of Salazars action, more than 1,000 wolves in Idaho and Montana could be killed by people like Idaho Governor Butch Otter, who recently reaffirmed that he wants to be one of the first to shoot a wolf."

"April 2 2009 On Thursday, just one year after the famous wolf Limpy was shot and killed just outside Yellowstone National Park. President Obamas pick as Secretary of the Interior, Ken Salazar, has taken it upon himself to eliminate Endangered Species Act protections for wolves in Greater Yellowstone, the Northern Rockies and other parts of the American West."

Bush's plan to delist wolves (remove them from the Endangered Species list) has been carried out by the Obama administration.

ok,,,,so....the rest of the wildlife in YNP is to be sacrified so the wolf people can see a wolf? Go there sometime and see how many elk, moose and deer are left....Actually, the states should take that land back, it is in the states of Montana and Wyoming and we could manage it better than the feds are doing now....

The wolves of Yellowstone are,in effect,federal property.The wolves in Yellowstonee are out of the jurisdictions of the surrounding states.
Not shot gazing at cattle or sheep,but at his usual food source.Except that it was Hoppy,so named because of pronounced limp from a leg injury,and there was no way he was going to be able to catch an elk.This was a shamefull killing,and it's a good thing we all helped to stop this activity.

Wildlife biologists are in agreement that wolves have not yet reached safe sustainable numbers in most geographic areas, where they have came back from the brink of extinction in the USA.
Even now there is no extra margin for unforseen stresses on wolf populations outside the human pressure. It's too early to remove them.
US citizens should rally to keep them on the Endangered Species list.
