Bad News for Red Wolves
12 years ago
In my last journal entry, I linked a petition to ban the killing of coyotes in red wolf recovery areas. Well, apparently the effort failed because now nine of the 100 wild red wolves are dead by gunshot wound, almost certainly mistaken for coyotes just like we freaking said they would be. :|

If I find out any more I'll let you guys know.

Goddamit. Maybe some education for hunters to be able to tell the difference at least! I hate people.

I don't know what good that would do, as it's almost impossible to tell unless you're right up close and have a very clear view, unfortunately.

Especially if they are a hybrid of canis rufus and a coyote, where it’s EVEN HARDER TO TELL…

OP
Thank you for raising awareness of this issue, I hope that at the very least these wolves deaths can be a call to decisive action and a complete ban on coyote killing in the area. 91 individuals is such an unstably low number for survival >_<
