Federal employees killed an endangered Mexican gray wolf.
Affectionately named Rusty by a middle school student in a nationwide contest, the wolf was killed on April 12, leaving behind his likely pregnant mate and several yearling pups.
Get this... The Service quietly authorized the killing on March 29, 2023 – on the day marking the 25th anniversary of Mexican wolves’ return to the wild.
