Synopsis

Journalist Urbigkit and many other concerned citizens questioned why authorities planned to release Canadian wolves into Yellowstone National Park and in central Idaho, where these non-native animals would compete with the rapidly dwindling native stock. Urbigkit eventually became a co-litigant in a suit against the US Fish and Wildlife Service in the 1990s that sought to protect native wolves and prevent the introduction of the Canadian wolves. Providing a close look at what is still one of the most visible and contentious wildlife management debates in the American West, Urbigkit gives details about the persecution of native Rocky Mountains wolves and the attempts to save them, the leaders of both sides of the debate over the release of the Canadian wolves, and the tensions that inevitably arise when diverse interests battle over human attempts to conduct experiments with native and non-native species of wildlife.
