Hunters Kill 20 Yellowstone Wolves That Roamed Out of Park
KSBW ^ | Jan 7, 2022

Park Superintendent Cam Sholly first raised concerns last September about wolves dying near the park border

Twenty of Yellowstone National Park's renowned gray wolves roamed from the park and were shot by hunters in recent months — the most killed by hunting in a single season since the predators were reintroduced to the region more than 25 years ago, according to park officials.

Fifteen wolves were shot after roaming across the park's northern border into Montana, according to figures released to The Associated Press. Five more died in Idaho and Wyoming.

Park officials said in a statement to AP that the deaths mark “a significant setback for the species’ long-term viability and for wolf research." One pack — the Phantom Lake Pack — is now considered “eliminated” after most or all of its members were killed over a two-month span beginning in October, according to the park.

Good they are a menace which is why they were wiped out the first time.

Yeah, and then ungulates have population irruptions, over-browse available food sources, become more susceptible to disease and ultimately starvation.

Suggestion - stick to med beds and QFS, as you’re incredibly ignorant about wolf and ungulate ecology.

In the UP of Michigan the cattle farmers are turning donkeys out with the cattle...two or three.

Near Bark River there was one farmer that had loses of 37 cattle a season on his farm. He turned out three burros and has not lost one cow to wolves since.

BUT, they found out that if you turn a Jack out, your dogs might get killed by the Jack. Jennys wont do that. I guess a cut Jack gets just plain lazy.

Hardly. I’m not addicted to anyone, especially ignorant FReepers.

You post on FR with conspiracy theories on med beds, QFS, President Trump is “still in charge”, mass arrest of journalists took place, hold up Simon Parkes as an “expert”, Biden body doubles, etc, etc. And you’ve also advocated for the overthrow of the US government, and made some very specific posts re: 1/6 on 1/6.

Ok, thanks. The bigger risk to humans are feral dog packs.
