The wolf in Wyoming. The gift that keeps on giving. Will anything be done to combat this problem? My guess is no.

A guy I know killed a moose last year and it was infested with tapeworms. He called the G&F and asked about it they told him tothrow all the meat away. He didn't he cooks it well done says he waited to long to get a tag to waste the meat.

-EXERPT-
"Wolves are the widest ranging Canids in North America plus wolves in the western US are known to have a high rate of infection with Echinococcus granulosus. Recently a Montana wolf is known to have traveled more than 1000 miles through five states in a 6 month period. If this wolf was an infected wolf it spread infected feces across 5 states in only about 6 months. Wild animals and livestock grazing in areas where wolves may have left egg infested feces can become infected. Dogs, coyotes, foxes, or other wolves who by nature commonly sniff another Canids feces may become infected if they unknowingly sniff an egg infested wolf feces."

I'll bet no-one in government had the foresight to see how a wolf could infect a 5 state area. If that were a disease carried by livestock, they'd probably be destroyed in short order.
