The reason the togo wolves werent killed when the kill order was out on them is because they had no collars to be able to get the job done. The reason they had no collars? In sept 2018 when a range rider wounded the collared male, wdfw went and put him down from a helicopter. They had the opportunity to tranq and collar the female right then but decided not to because it was "too hot out." Wdfw intentionally dropping the ball. Intentionally making it so they wouldnt be able to take the remaining wolves out if (when) the threshhold for lethal removal was met imo. Easy way to avoid bad press and lawsuits.
