Western Watersheds Project<p>This was Hope at the time she was collared in July 2024, in photos WWP received from a public records request. We don't yet know how Hope was killed, but if someone shot her, they must have known she wasn't a coyote. (And even if she wasn't collared, you aren't supposed to shoot without knowing the identity of your target.) <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/MexicanWolves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MexicanWolves</span></a></p>

Western Watersheds Project<p>Headline says they are letting her roam free, but the story says, "Officials with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service say they are developing a plan to recapture Asha, but there’s no timeline when that could happen."

Western Watersheds Project<p>Thank you to the folks who jumped in to provide an alt text description!</p><p>It's important that hunters know the difference and can't claim they thought they were shooting a <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Coyote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Coyote</span></a>.
