'Beloved' wolf killed just outside Yellowstone
Yellowstone animal watchers are mourning the death of a "beloved" wolf. Yellowstone wolves are starting to lose their natural fear of humans and thus make for easy targets during hunting season. Ironically the very people who watch, photograph and even name various Yellowstone wolves are causing the wolves to lose their fear of humans. Their have been instances of people feeding wolves which further harms the animals by breeding dependency to humans.
The watchers do not see themselves as the problem. Instead they want to ban hunting of wolves on private and public land just outside the park.
Wolves often kill livestock and big game. Sometimes they kill just for pleasure and leave the dead animals uneaten.
They tend to like Elk and local populations have been greatly thinned since the introduction of wolves into Yellowstone.
