Wolf "mistaken for coyote" shot in Utah

A coyote hunter killed a wild wolf which had moved from the Grand Canyon area back into its historic range.  Coyote can be "shot on sight" in Utah.  Commercial ranching and misinformation place incredible pressure on grey wolves and coyote, yet wolves and other wild canid species are critical for the health of the environment.  http://faint-traces.blogspot.com/2014/04/predators-affect-all-aspects-of-their.html


A couple of different takes on it are here:
