Speaking about the plan to allow hunter to kill wolves, Dr. Dr. Catherine Feher-Elston reports on the tragic figures:
"...more than 500 wolves have been killed in Idaho and Montana by hunting and trapping methods since the species was delisted from the endangered species list in 2011.
“Half of our Northern Rockies wolves are dead in less than a year.”
