It’s not easy being a wolf in northern Minnesota.

Every year dozens of the animals die of starvation, disease, parasites, vehicle traffic and poaching.

But the No. 1 killer of Minnesota wolves may come as a surprise: agents of the federal government, acting with the full force of the law.

Here’s an idea: instead of using shitton of cash to murder wolves, use a shitton of cash to pay for fencing that keeps wolves out.

The agency documents and verifies those complaints, and looks for non-lethal ways to protect threatened livestock, like wolf-proof fencing.

I'm not defending killing wolves, but it was right there in the article.
