After being blamed for killing miniature horses, Montana authorized the killing of the Superior wolf pack.

Ralph Maughan does a good job of explaining the situation in Montana and effectively highlights the waste of money and improper use of the funds as not one preventative measure is put in to place during 2009.

Montana is making it easier to kill wolves in the state after officials says there are too many wolves on the landscape.

According to a report from The Western News, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks has authorized the destruction of two wolves from the Candy Mountain Pack after federal officials determined the pack was responsible for livestock deaths.

Photos distributed of a wolf in Bozeman, Montana turns out to be just an Alaskan Malamute, who was promptly adopted after getting picked up by animal control officers.

For the second time in as many months, Montana’s Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks has authorized the destruction of an entire wolf pack in the state. 

After a year which was marked by a number of steps backwards for America’s wolves, wolf advocates are preparing for another year of fights – and do so by asking for last minute donations.

Another pack will be exterminated after reportedly killing two goats and four guard dogs over the last two years. Ralph Maughan reveals, on his wildly respected blog, that the ranch where the predations occured is owned by a Montana senator, perhaps explaining the over-reaction.

Matt Skoglund, writer for the Natural Resources Defense Council’s BioGems website, wrote an editorial criticizing the positive media spin being applied to the Montana wolf hunt.

The Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Commission will postpone consideration of next year’s wolf hunting season until spring to allow more time for public comment, FWP officials said today.
