*Federal Officials Request Assistance Regarding Latest Red Wolf Killing*
*Reward for Information now up to $26,000*
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is requesting assistance with an
investigation involving the suspected illegal take of a fifth red wolf in
the last month. In the latest death, the federally protected wolf’s body
was recovered from private property north of the town of Creswell, in
Washington County, North Carolina, on Monday, November 18, 2013. The red
wolf’s body had an apparent gunshot wound.
Anyone with information that directly leads to an arrest, a criminal
conviction, a civil penalty assessment, or forfeiture of property on the
subject or subjects responsible for the suspected unlawful take of a red
wolf may be eligible for a reward.
Pledged contributions from the North Carolina Wildlife Federation, Red Wolf
Coalition, Humane Society of the United States, and the Center for
Biological Diversity have increased the reward amount for information on the
suspected illegal take of the five radio-collared red wolves that were found
dead in the last month in Washington and Tyrrell counties, North Carolina.
A person providing essential information that directly leads to an arrest, a
criminal conviction, on the subject or subjects responsible for the
suspected unlawful take of one of these red wolves may be eligible for a
combined reward of up to $26,000. Individual organizations pledging
contributions will determine eligibility for payment of any reward.

Disgusting 😦
I honestly think it’s a little disgusting that the HSUS has pledged so little. At this point, this has to stop.
