Thank you for running David McGrath’s highly sensible op-ed on Wisconsin wolf hunting. Most people don’t realize Farley Mowatt’s memoir “Never Cry Wolf” is partly a work of fiction, but it is still an accurate representation of wolf management in the United States and Canada, the latter of which continues to poison wolves.
Not content to be outdone by Canada, our wolf slaughter in Wisconsin “harvested” the term wildlife management agencies use to refer to the killing of sentient beings for “sport” 216 wolves at last count. That is 20% of the population and 97 over the official quota, a number Keith Warnke of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources calls “a little bit over.” In Wisconsin, 97 represents 24 to 48 packs, or families, of wolves.
