The Whites - father, son and son's wife - need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. They killed these wolves out of greed and hubris. The Alpha-female's collar was destroyed. That's a crime. These people deserve the max and should be sent to prison, where they can become the prey. They're disgusting.

Agreed 100% , Patricaia ! This family seems to have made themselves in charege of wiping out what few wolves there were in Washington . I hope the are preosecuted to the maximum allowed - because when this started wolves were on the Endangered Species List ! Should be jail time and some stiff penalties involved !

Perhaps I have a bad attitiude from working on Wall Street but "Although disappointed in the time it took to file charges, Minbashian said she was impressed that the investigation appeared very thorough. "They uncovered a lot of information," she said" is a cop out. What I learned is that when we needed info, we asked nicely first, politely second, and they pushed liked hell until we got what we wanted.

This is so sad. Poaching is terrible especially when it involves wiping out an entire wolf pack.
