Colorado Female wolf shot & killed by ranch hand

[cnelk]

This will get interesting.
More to come I’m sure

“A ranch owner says her ranch hand shot and killed the King Mountain wolf pack mother, the Coloradoan has confirmed.
The death will test the state's laws protecting the endangered predator, which only allows for the legal killing of wolves under certain situations.”

"If the kill is legally justified, the agency can grant Nottingham a retroactive lethal take permit."
