Wolf Euthanized in Paradise Valley

Print

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks’ personnel euthanized a wolf on March 19 in the Paradise Valley because it had mange.  

The wolf had been seen recently around buildings, calving pastures, and a sheep operation.

 

The animal was the last known member of the Chief Joseph pack. Individuals in the pack had shown signs of mange since 2004. Another pack member was euthanized in the same area last November.
