From Wyoming Public Media: “Before” the capture, and “after.” That’s how a state-appointed group examined the events that led up to and followed the now infamous incident in Sublette County of alleged wolf abuse. The nine-member Treatment of Predators Working Group held their first meeting in Lander this week. The lawmakers, agriculture representatives and wildlife advocates took their […]
From Nature World News: In 2019, 19 wolves were reintroduced into Isle Royale National Park with a view to returning its ecosystem to its natural balance.

From Phys.org: In a rare opportunity to study carnivores before and after wolves were reintroduced to their ranges, researchers from the University of Wisconsin–Madison found that the effects of wolves on Isle Royale have been only temporary.

From Cowboy State Daily: Despite widespread outrage over a wolf being run down with a snowmobile in the infamous Daniel wolf torture incident, banning that practice in Wyoming doesn’t seem imminent.

From The Seattle Times: The Washington State Fish and Wildlife Commission will decide next month on lowering gray wolves’ status under the state’s endangered species law. Environmentalists and others say this would lead to inadequate protection for the animals when they still haven’t recovered in parts of the state. State Department of Fish and Wildlife […]
From Yahoo News: A wolf seemed super keen to get a piece of a bison carcass from a grizzly bear, footage by a nature photographer in Yellowstone National Park shows, but the bear seemed unimpressed by its antics as it bounced around. Trevor LaClair said he filmed the scene in April 2023, when the bear […]
From Drovers: Colorado ranchers can now use artificial light to aid in killing wolves when they’re caught in the act of attacking livestock at night. Previously, ranchers could only use the night-vision technology to conduct hazing that didn’t harm or kill the wolves. The rules change follows a 6-4 vote by the Parks and Wildlife […]
