Rare Red Wolf Shot in North Carolina Was Left Alive, Drowned in Mud
From Newsweek:
A rare red wolf was found shot in the spine and left alive to drown in the mud in North Carolina.
A necropsy of the animal, which was found in Tyrrell County, showed that its lungs were full of mud, indicating it had been severely injured by the shot but was initially still alive. It had eventually died as it lay in the muddy farm field, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said in a statement.
