Wolf 253 brings up the rear in the Druid Peak in Yellowstone back in 2004. Copyright © Kim Kaiser
The Bush Administration delisted the Wolf last week and the same day three of them were shot and killed outside of Daniel, Wyoming. One of the Wolves killed was known as "253" and had a long history, he had a limp and was the one that made it to Utah several years ago. You can read more about him here. The Wolves that were reintroduced back into Yellowstone and Central Idaho have done better than anyone expected and amazingly they have not eaten any school children as was predicted (there is no recorded human ever killed by a wolf in North America) . They have killed livestock and all of the owners were compensated for their losses. I hope as a society we will have the wisdom and foresight to keep some of the wild things on this continent that we live on.
