FROM THE U.S. FISH & WILDLIFE:
On Nov. 6, 2010, two wild gray wolves were found dead in separate locations on the Flathead National Forest in northwestern Montana. One wolf was found dead along Coal Creek Road, while the body of the other dead wolf was recovered in the Miller Creek area. Both animals appeared to have died as a result of gunshot wounds.
Killing a wolf is a violation of the Endangered Species Act.
The agency is investigating the wolves’ deaths. There is a reward of up to $2,500 is for information leading to the identification and prosecution of the person or persons involved in the killing of these wolves.
If you have information regarding this case, please contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Great Falls, Montana at 406-761-2286.
There is quite a bit of publicized anger over the wolves in our Rocky Mountain Region and proposed action to remove protections from them. It is hearbreaking and hard to think anything else but anger is responsible. Run free, run free....your voices be told.
