Still Waters Posted May 16, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 16, 2017 A $5,000 (£3,900) reward has been put up for information on how a rare white wolf at Yellowstone National Park was shot dead. The female was one of three white wolves in the park and had 14 living pups, wildlife officials say. The reward comes after initial results of a necropsy show the so-called White Lady was shot around 10 April. "She was one of the most recognisable wolves and sought after by visitors to view and photograph," the park said. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-39930372 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Future ghost Posted May 16, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 16, 2017 The more I read the sicker I got. Wolves are such beautiful animals. To not only shoot one, but let it suffer with a mortal wound for hours-maybe even days,who knows for sure-is disgusting to me. If for some reason that person absolutely had to shoot it- such as in self defense ( highly unlikely)- at least have the decency to put it out of its misery quickly. Be a real man, not a coward, and do the right thing. I'm sure this was a thrill-kill. People suck. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzz_Light_Year Posted May 16, 2017 #7 Share Posted May 16, 2017 The government regularly culls these wolf populations to keep their numbers in check so I wouldn't be surprised that this might have been an accidental shooting while a cull was in process. JMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would feel a lot better if that's what this happened to be, since everyone is capable of making an honest mistake. I would like to think that people aren't that cruel, but unfortunately they keep proving otherwise. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essan Posted May 16, 2017 #12 Share Posted May 16, 2017 You would have thought the Park authorities would know if they were under taking a cull at the moment? My guess is it's a deliberate assasination either by a trophy hunter (but the wolf, though injured, got away, before dying later) or someone who just hates wolves and therefore targetted the best known, most popular one. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ongoing, and growing, feud between ranchers and wolves in Wyoming and Idaho is starting to reach crisis levels as wolf populations rebound and has been reported in the news with more frequency here in the US.

Vorg Posted May 16, 2017 #17 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Probably posted it on his Facebook account or posed with it, simply killed for something like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMO. The government should not be culling anything. So sick of how we all treat animals and think so little of taking their lives. With all of our knowledge, I'm sure there's a way to control unwanted births instead of allowing some blood hungry jerk to kill these magnificent animals. Human race could learn a lot from our friends who also call Earth their home. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that this killing was are part of it though. Probably a trophy hunting case. Possibly a self defense shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately Posted May 18, 2017 #23 Share Posted May 18, 2017 This is a disgusting act and the perpetrator will hopefully be found. As someone above said, they should definitely have their firearms removed and be banned from owning guns. It's sickening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMO. the government is obviously formed by impotent and brainless people who have no idea what they are doing. Since natural habitat is shrinking every year, wild animals have no choise but wonder around cities looking for food which create a false believe that they multiply. How about goverment should keep in check overgrowing population which takes over new territories ans swallows land like parasites.
