In 1989, media mogul Ted Turner purchased the 113,613 acre Flying D Ranch southwest of Bozeman, Montana. He removed all domestic cattle and introduced a managed herd of bison across the native grasslands. When wolves dispersed from Yellowstone National Park seven years later, Turner instructed his staff not to shoot them, even if they preyed on his livestock.
His decision tested whether a commercial ranching operation and wild apex predators could coexist on private Western land.

Animal Wellness Action announced an independent expenditure against U.S. Representative Tom Tiffany in the Wisconsin gubernatorial race, calling him out for “pushing wolf trapping and hunting in Madison and Washington” as “Wisconsin families worry about grocery bills and health care costs.”
The organization also noted that Tiffany’s promotion of extreme anti-wolf policies in Wisconsin has been a case of self-sabotage, with the federal courts recognizing that Wisconsin does not have appropriate state controls in place to prevent wholesale killing of wolves.
