we really need to be careful about what we post, this photo has the puppy pimps fired up and it would be unfortunate if this grows to the point that management decision are effected by photo of an abnormal event ( apparently some kids were taking pot shots at the wolf while in the trap)
all info gleaned from the internet :dunno:

Just because it's a wolf doesn't mean that it should suffer a miserable death.

One thing to made clear, the blood wasn't from the trap. It was from the gunshot wounds when the kids shot it with 22s. Not the trappers fault it looked so bad. Also there probably wasn't much blood involved. It really shows up on snow. If it had been on bare ground I think you wouldn't have seen any blood.
Should it have been posted on a public forum? Probably not but I have seen a lot of pictures on here with blood in the shot.
We should all be carefull about what we post but I think this is all being blown out of proportion.

I am so on the fence about this, not anti or pro wolf. But anti or pro suffering of the wolves,. UNfortunately the same fear and terror that the wolf was feeling in his last inutes of life we're the very same he's probably put into many deer and elk he's taken down. However at the same point I hate to see any animal suffer,,,I just don't know.
Sure, we don't want to see an animal suffer but don't have unrealistic expectations. Wild animals don't die peacably in their sleep. That wolf was going to die someday. We all do. I doubt that it would have gone any easier under other circumstances.
The trap, I just don't believe it would have caused pain. I'm sure there was panic but is that really suffering.
The kids shooting it with 22s, that is certainly a fluke not likey to be repeated but is that worse then being ripped apart and eaten by one of it's fellow wolves during lean times.
I read where that wolf was 9 years old. I'm sure she gave more then she got.
