Wolf killing and the consequences of disturbing pack dynamics
From explorebigsky.com:
New research shows killing wolves changes pack dynamics, and those changes matter.
The last few years have been tough for gray wolves. Idaho passed a law to kill up to 90% of the state’s wolves. Montana killed 270 in one season. Wisconsin killed about 220 before the species went back on the Endangered Species List. Some 25 wolves killed in the Yellowstone National Park area in 2022 came from the park itself.
