Wolf hunting season in a large southern district of Montana ends after sunset tonight, just one day after the season officially opened. The 12-wolf quota was quickly exceeded by one.

I'm not sure Mark McMilan has been given the right figures. Being hunted is not the only way a wolf can die. With their habitat dwindling, and with it, food sources, survival is not a given. Oh, and then there's the danger of roads (as in the pic above). Here's a petition to help the wolves:

If only 12 wolves were killed, why did they have a wolf hunt to begin with? why kill 12 wolves. and they may not have been pairs. so some of them may have lost mates. this is stupid and disgusting and makes no sense.

Humans need to leave the wildlife ALONE.

Thanks Cher..

Two days, well DUH, actually no surprise on that one, bet ya anything that there were a bunch more killed and the authorities didn't report it! Those gun happy people probably put them into their cars or hid them.

They need to CUT THIS OUT TOTALLY!!

They do not need to have open season on any animals...leave the wolves alone, then the other sick and older animals will be kept in check.

What is with Man getting his grubby little hands into everything...Yanks me OFF!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I guess they want to drive them back into near extinction again.

What is the point of killing these animals who are the ancestors of the pets that we have today? Why not put a little effort into finding safe habitats for them? They have a right to a life span as everyone on this earth.

What was the purpose of the wolf hunt if the number allowed was only 12? Who the heck determines that exactly 12, (although I bet many more than 12 were killed) does some supposed scientific method decree the killing!? We just brought the wolves back from seriously threatened, only to start killing them when there is one too many!?!? This whole thing with killing wolves the minute they reach a certain number is ludicrous. It's man's need to shoot something, and the wolf is an easy target, both physically and pychologically. Shooting indiscriminately, without knowing if a wolf has pups to provide for, or might be half of the Alpha pair, shows a total lack of humanity.

This really ekes me!!! What is up with this anyway and where is the point? Weather it would be for pelts, or for the guts and glory of making a statement, it’s a bad one and they need to stop in a big time way. The Government needs to get their butt in gear and pull out all of the stops and just say noooooooooooo!!!!!! Where is the NO Bill at?????
