Lost Creek Pack – Courtesy John Burch
It’s deja vu for wolves in Alaska’s Yukon–Charley Rivers National Preserve. All eleven members of the Lost Creek Pack were wiped out by state biologists when they left the protection of the Yukon-Charley National Wildlife Preserve just as the Webber Creek Pack was gunned down in 2010 in almost exactly the same scenario. Both packs had been the focus of long time studies. The Lost Creek Pack for twenty years, the Webber Creek Pack for 16 years.
Alaska is a killing ground for wolves. The state treats wolves and bears like vermin, killing them with impunity to boost ungulate populations. They are disgusting.

Exposing the Big Game 
Not surprised to see John Burch wearing a coat with a dead Coyote wrapped around his collar either. How does a ‘professional’ spend years studying animals, presumably developing a relationship of respect at the very least, and then one day, in cold blood, shoots them all dead. From a helicopter no less, the epitome of cruelty and unfair practice. I am appalled, aghast, deeply depressed, upset and at a loss to understand what is happening in this world.
*I realize Burch was not one of the biologists that shot the Wolves. But, it was state biologists that shot the entire pack. So, my first sentence is to John Burch. How do you study Wolves while wearing fur from one of their close relatives. Why would you support the heinous activity of trapping when you have an intimate knowledge of the species. The second part of my comment is for the ‘biologists’ that murdered the wolves.
