There ain’t much to being a wolf, I don’t think. You run around the woods all day? Man, fuck. I really don’t fucking know.
But I guess boredom sometimes gets the better of them, and to get their rocks off, or whatever, they gotta go on surplus kills. Which is what happened in Wyoming this week.
From The Calgary Sun:
Regional Wildlife Supervisor John Lund says the elk carcasses were discovered Thursday morning at one of the department’s feed grounds near Bondurant, a village southeast of Jackson, WY.
“We went and investigated it and it turned out to be a total of 19 that we found and documented,” Lund told COUNTY 10. “There were 19 total — 17 were calves, two were adult cows.”
They killed 17 babies? That’s messed up.
“Several wolves came in over one night and killed 19 elk,” he added. “Normally one or two elk a night here and there is no big deal, but 19 in one night is fairly rare.”
Mike Jimenez of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said surplus killings by wolves are extremely rare.
“By and large, wolves don’t kill for sport. We did an eight year study and we looked at elk feed grounds. What we found is that generally wolves did not kill what they did not eat.”
Why do you think the wolves did it?
