The Imperiled American Wolf~  Since President Obama removed the gray wolf from the endangered species list in April 2011 and turned management of these majestic animals over to state wildlife agencies, 1,500 wolves have been senselessly slaughtered by sport hunters and trappers alone in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Minnesota and Wisconsin. This &quot;kill tally&quot; does not include the scores of wolves slaughtered by federal and state predator control programs. And the killing has just begun.
