I know, it is the same reason in the US, the wildlife management ist not financed by the state like mostly in Europe but by private sources, mostly hunters. And there are several European states who sell wolves to rich hunters. One of the very few German wolves has been illegally shot this year.

I don´t know why this special message was so much worse for me maybe because this was a well known pack out of a protected region, we all may have seen their photos or films showing them. I don´t want to imagine the grieve of the people who observed them for years and saw them grow up and having puppies of their own.
The wolves we raised this year are about the same age theirs are now and I just was in the park playing with them and petting them I couldn´t guarantee for myself if I would meet someone doing them any harm.
When you get to know their personalities and charakters they get very special animals, to loose them is not easy to take, to loose them to a bloody ignorant that just waited for one of them to leave the park is even worse.

For sure, it is not all of us in the USA that agree with this heinous bloodshed...coyotes - who live almost everywhere in the US, suffer an equally horrific fate, though not endangered...they are considered "nuisance" animals by many localities, and can be shot in any place, at any time...right now we are entering the season I fear most for my dogs...hunting season. All over, there are men with big guns and orange hats...

Terrible situation...shame on us...

I know this for sure, the other side are people like Ray Coppinger with his live stock guarding dogs projects and, and, and

The only good thing is that the hunting may be stay stopped.
