Rancher spots first wolverine in North Dakota in 150 years — so he kills it

A rancher shot and killed the first wolverine spotted for more than a century in North Dakota — where the animals had been eradicated.

Researchers had been tracking the omnivorous animal, known as M56, since 2008, when a transmitter was placed under its skin after its capture just south of Yellowstone National Park, reported the Grand Forks Herald.

wolverine that was the first spotted in the US for decades and was shot by, if my memory serves me, a wildlife ranger.

People like the Bundys ride roughshod over decades of preservation work. They have no respect, and they only think of themselves. I try not to use the word "hate", but at least I hate their culture.

They cannot work with other people different from themselves. Maybe that's too much of a blanket statement, because other ranchers didn't back the Bundys or probably this killing of a wolverine.

I like to preserve what we have.
