Wolf Pack Killed

A couple weeks ago, an entire wolf pack was put to death up in nothwestern Montana. 13 wolves were killed over 2 or 3 days. They had been eating cattle. This is indeed sad news.

I wonder what the wolves were going through at this time. They were first living normal lives-hunting, eating, playing, raising a family...then all of a sudden one day a gun shot rang out through the cold crisp autumn air. The smell of death of one of their own filled the valley. Fear settled in among the remaining wolves. They wondered what was happening. They tried to mourn the loss of their beloved family member as more shots rang out...then a another shot and another until the last wolf was dead days later. Each remaining wolf lived on the edge, in fear and mourning, until it too was shot to death.

What another sad ending to some wonderful animals. Another day that my heart cried out in pain.
