Governor Greg Gianforte violated Montana regulations by killing a wolf without the required course


https://exposingthebiggame.wordpress.com/2021/03/24/montana-governor-given-written-warning-after-trapping-killing-of-yellowstone-wolf

Montana’s newly elected Republican governor violated state hunting regulations when he trapped and shot a collared wolf near Yellowstone National Park in February, according to documents obtained by the Mountain West News Bureau.

Gov. Greg Gianforte killed the adult black wolf known as “1155” roughly ten miles north of the park’s boundary in Park County. He trapped it on a private ranch owned by Robert E. Smith, director of the conservative Sinclair Broadcasting Group, who contributed thousands of dollars to Gianforte’s 2017 congressional campaign.

While wolves are protected inside Yellowstone National Park, it’s legal to hunt and trap wolves in Montana – including wolves that wander beyond the park’s boundaries – in accordance with state regulations.

Gianforte violated Montana regulations by harvesting the wolf without first completing a state-mandated wolf trapping certification course. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks issued the governor a written warning, and he promised to take the three-hour online course March 24.

He thinks he's in competition with djtj, he also killed an elk illegally a few years back too. He is one of those rich fucks who thinks he can do anything because he's rich, and make sure that nobody else gets to enjoy our Public Lands. He's all about flaunting the law and gets a little tiny slap on the wrist every fucking time.

And I know the authors of that book. Very informative, they are all accomplished researchers.

Busy puking half the morning and I guess that's all the bile I had left at the time. And that was the nicest thing I could think of.
