I saw this yesterday in the Billings Gazette. They are going to study wolf mortality now that hunting of the wolf is being allowed in Montana. I will reserve my opinion as to what will be the purpose of this study.

Very interesting! I would have thought they would have been doing that from day one when the critters were introduced in the 90s!

That article abbreviated the name of the foundation that gave the grant. The full name is the Regina Bauer Frankenberg Foundation for Animal Welfare headquartered in New York City. It's a $16 million fund. The largest grants were $435,000 to the Humane Society of the United States, $250,000 to the World Wildlife Fund and $250,000 to Friends of Animals. What kind of result do you think this unbiased study will have?

sagebrush,

I am guessing that the result/findings of this study have already been predetermined. My guess is Montana's management of the wolf will be challenged. Just an "unbiased" guess on my part. At the risk of being attacked on these boards, I don't think that the "wolf wars" will ever end.
