Slobs gun down legendary “Limpy” Yellowstone wolf for fun

Filed under: Outdoors — Mike @ 12:06 am

In most of Wyoming, you can now kill any wolf you see any way you want. This legendary old wolf had travelled to Utah and back, and later became the Druid beta male. Limpywas not only a symbol of the wild, but a symbol of surviving under very trying conditions. It may very well be that this story gets an injunction on the wolf delisting….

…it would be very fitting if old Limpywas the wolf that did so.

Please contact Wyoming Travel and Tourism and tell them you will not be visitng their state or ordering products from their state until they end their extreme wolf “plan”. Mention this story specifically. Please use the “action” links to let congress know about this story as well.
