Officers shoot, kill wolf that was stalking man, child and dog in Kananaskis Country, Canada


CANADA – Kananaskis Country conservation officers shot and killed a young wolf after it stalked a man, his child and puppy at the Mount Kidd campground Tuesday.
It’s the first time in the history of Kananaskis Country that parks officials have had to kill a wolf.
According to Kananaskis senior parks ecologist Melanie Percy, the wolf was highly habituated and food conditioned, and was likely fed along the roadside.
“It was an extremely unfortunate situation. The careless acts of a few individuals left us with a situation that was unmanageable and ultimately cost this wolf his life,” Percy said.
On Tuesday morning, the man, boy and puppy were walking through the Mount Kidd campground when they noticed the wolf following them.
After they sought refuge in a nearby washroom, the wolf waited outside the building for them before losing interest and moving on.
Shortly after, conservation officers showed up and shot the young wolf, estimated to be two or three years old. A necropsy was conducted on Wednesday.
“We’re 100 per cent sure it was the right wolf,” Percy said.
