Because if it's not "officially" confirmed, they've never been there. :bash:

The USFWS and WDFW usually release wolves in pairs.

"From the polls that have been done, most people support having wolves back in Washington state, and this is particularly exciting because having one in a state park, it would be more protected compared to those on private land or in national forests," Peterson explains."

"State parks have a dual mission to "protect wildlife"? With Wolves?

How long will it take for their stupidity to catch up to them?
