The animal's carcass was sent to the National Fish and Wildlife Forensics Laboratory in Ashland, Ore., for genetic analysis.

They're sending it to one one of the biggest tree hugging area's in the nation...makes me suspicious of the outcome.

I guess maybe I missed something.

Wild life authorities did the shooting. Where it came from is of interest to wildlife people only.

If it is a genuine wolf, it’s dead. If it’s a wolf/dog hybrid it’s still dead (seems most likely considering the pelt colors).

The only possible bad outcome is if it is some unidentified species which is a highly unlikely outcome.

Don't be....I've been to the Lab. Ultra modern and state of the art in every way. The people that work there are very down to earth and not your typical Ashlander from Portland/SF area libs. They do excellent science.

Wasn't it in Oregon that the US Wildlife Service was caught trying to "salt" non-idigeneous fur for some reason or another?

LOL! You're right.

No kidding! They're sending it to world HQ of the "Born Again Pagans!" "GANG-GREEN" and the hot-bed of GovernMental EnvironMentalistas!!!(well, maybe it's second place to San Franpsycho with Gorbechev's International Green Cross HQ'd at the Presidio!!!)

They shouldn't be sending that anywhere near oceanic coastlines that breed "blue voting" leftist enclaves like crazy!!!
