Wildlife officials later arrived and took away the wolf’s carcass.

Did the MP officer get permission first? Did he call Wildlife? Let's see how the court case in Glovertown goes now.

What is the difference between this MP officer discharging a firearm in a public place ( the airfield) and a man in Glovertown ( i think ) discharging a firearm to kill a bear that was a threat to his family. Are we making the life of a dog more valuable than the life of a human being??
