A wolverine shot late last month by a ranch hand in western North Dakota came from Wyoming, where a radio transmitter had been implanted in 2008 after the animal was captured south of Yellowstone National Park....

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department investigated the shooting of the wolverine and determined the rancher was within state law to kill the animal, which reportedly was harassing livestock. North Dakota law allows a landowner, tenant or the person’s agent to kill any wild fur-bearing animal -- except bears -- to protect poultry, domestic animals or crops....

The last confirmed record of a wolverine in North Dakota was from the fur-trading era in the mid-1800s, but the animals have been known to travel long distances. Minnesota hasn’t had a confirmed wolverine since 1899, but unconfirmed sightings have been reported as recently as last fall in northwest Minnesota.

First wolverine sighting in ND in 150 years, and some guy kills it.

WOLVERINES!!

1. There are only about 200 wolverines in the U.S.

This is so sad.
