This was nothing more than a trophy hunt. Plain and simple. Once again, an organization that's supposed to "conserve" wildlife (it's part of their name) opts to kill, in what seems to be the only tool they know how to use. It's brutal, inhumane and totally without any thought as to the impact on the community, thus proving the Florida FWC are little more than animals themselves. It would appear the same goes for the groups in the Northwest that are currently actively trying to undo years of wolf conservation efforts in as little time as possible. Just makes me sick...

FWL far too often take an aggressive approach with wildlife resulting in death versus utilizing a "helping hand." In my opinion, those who killed Chaco should be fired and FWL Ethics revamped to include "preservation" versus "elimination."

The ignorance of the FWC is appauling and people that are commited to the well being and safety of all animals need to be trained and vetted better for their job or fired. Caring for animals should be an honor and a privledge, not showing such disreagard for wildlife!

Every person with that agency that was involved with the deception should be terminated and criminal charges brought against them. This is an outrage and cannot be tolerated. These are beautiful animals and the Watkins should be applauded and funded for their efforts to help protect this wonderful species. The behavior of those FWC officers and PR personnel should not be tolerated.

if the authorities had allowed Cynthia and Wayne Watkins to be present when Chaco was located this beautiful animal would still be here. There was no need for this killing. I know the school location is their justification for the shooting, but if they had allowed the Watkins to be present, this would have a much better outcome. The wolf experts were denied the opportunity to do what they do best!
