Editorial: Making war on wolves

Editor's note:  Highland Park Illinois is now the home of five beavers residing in a pond on Ridge Rd.  They are welcome to remain as long as they wish since the beaver is protected under the "Endangered Species Act" by Uncle Sam.  Lucius Verenus, Schoolmaster, ProbateSharks.com

Yellowstone National Park's best-known wolf, beloved by many tourists and valued by scientists who tracked its movements, was shot and killed Thursday outside the park's boundaries, Wyoming wildlife officials reported. The wolf, known as 832F to researchers, was the alpha female of the park's highly visible Lamar Canyon pack and had become so well known that some wildlife watchers referred to her as a "rock star." The animal had been a tourist favorite for most of the past six years.
