Cougar slaughter could grow wolf packs in Black Hills

Buy 'em books and buy 'em books then they wad 'em up and use 'em for toilet paper.

South Dakota Game, Fish, and Plunder has been systematically exterminating the cougar population that had been discouraging wolves from migrating into the state.

From the RCJ:
The gray wolf found dead Monday morning near Pine Ridge made a 400-mile journey from Yellowstone National Park to southwest South Dakota in less than two months, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wolf specialist said Tuesday. Mike Jimenez of Jackson, Wyo., said information received from the radio-transmitter collar on the wolf identified it as a 3- to 4-year-old male that was part of a wolf pack in the southeast part of Yellowstone. --Kevin Woster, Rapid City Journal

Dear Goddess.
A lion tracked by the Kelly-based science institute for the past six years is documented to have recently dined on a yearling wolf, Cougar Project biologist Mark Elbroch says. In early 1996, B-4’s radio collar was detected sending out a mortality signal near Drummond, Mont. In 2003 a cougar-killed female wolf was found in Paradise Valley north of Gardiner, Mont. In 2006 a healthy male wolf killed by a lion was found in Alberta’s Turner Valley. More recently, in early 2012, a Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks wolf biologist reported that two of her radio-collared wolves had turned up dead with trauma consistent with a lion attack.
