Wolf Fatherly Love



"Beyond their ecological importance as critical keystone predators, wolves are also really patient, generous, and loving dads.

Mexican gray wolf Lighthawk first earned the badge of fatherhood in 2018. On May 3, 2022, he and his mate Trumpet celebrated their third litter. He and his family represent the Wolf Conservation Center's active participation in the effort to save this species from the brink of extinction."

I've never understood the drive to kill them.

But I can understand the ranchers being upset by the wolves because they kill their stock. I don't agree with killing them, but it does interfere with their way of making a living. Deal with it dudes, it is nature.

Besides, it'd be cheaper to reimburse ranchers for lost livestock than the organization efforts to eradicate wolves.
Imo.

However, hunters love an excuse.
