There was a wolf that was killing livestock, 120 sheep, in the Circle area last year. Officials finally found and shot it. The state has finally released some information about the wolf. It was not a wild wolf, but a <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2007/03/01/news/state/20-wolf.txt">"domestic" wolf</a> that somebody let loose. The DNA of the wolf proves this since it comes from a variety of sources that never would manage to get combined in the wild.<br />n<br />nI wonder how the person that let this wolf go feels about the havoc they caused? Do they have any feelings at all for the 120 head of sheep this wolf killed? Some of these sheep were killed not to eat, but just to be killed. Why would a person do this? A wold that was raised domestically would not have the proper tools to survive in the wild so in a way was this not cruelty to turn the animal loose? I know it was cruelty to the animals he killed and murdered. I wonder if the person who released this animal thought about this stuff, hell if they thought at all? <br />n<br />nThe chances of them finding whoever turned this animal loose are slim to none. If they did though the person should have to pay damages to the ranchers who were affected by this wolf's murderous rampage. I don't think people pay any attention to the consequences of their actions. What you do not only affects you, but it affects other people in the world. Turning a "domestic" wolf loose was a disaster for all concerned but I'm sure the person who did it doesn't care. They're probably just mad that the wolf was shot. People are crazy on this wolf issue. I wish a little common sense could come into play.<br />n<br />n<strong>Cruelty is, perhaps, the worst kid of sin.
