BOISE, Idaho — Montana's governor was given a warning by state wildlife officials after killing a radio-collared wolf near Yellowstone National Park in February without first taking a mandated trapping education course.

Gov. Greg Gianforte trapped and shot the wolf about 10 miles (16 kilometers) north of the park on a ranch owned by a Sinclair Broadcasting Group executive, Boise State Public Radio reported.

It's legal to kill wolves in Montana with a license, but trappers must first complete a three-hour online course that includes instruction on how to take the animals ethically and lawfully.

The Republican governor had a wolf license, said Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks spokesman Greg Lemon.

1. I'm shocked somebody like him would do something like that!!

[HUAJIAO]

2. I always like phrases like, "take the animal."

Can't they just come right out and say it.. 'kill the animal." ?

[PSPS]

3. It's the lipstick on the pig. Like calling gambling "gaming," a prostitute a "sex worker," etc.

13. To me the word "ethically" is one of those things that makes me go "HUH".

6. Two turkeys in one shot!

My ex brother-in-law once shot two turkeys in one shot. Did not see the second turkey behind the first. Unfortunately, in the state of Virginia only one turkey is allowed. Being a circuit court judge, and also a Democrat, he did the right thing and turned himself in. Of course he got find $500 for killing two turkeys. I did not matter that it was only one shot. The law is the law. How did this jerk get off with only a warning?

8. That piece of shit is the governor now?

A man without compassion like this evil person would have no hesitation killing any animal he disliked, even your pet dog. I'd bet on that too.

10. The rage, stupidity, and meaness that it takes to trap and shoot a radio collared wolf can not ....

.... measured. What the fuck is wrong with that asshole?

[Bayard]

11. How sporting of him

Trap the wolf, then shoot it--what? While it can't move? And what do you do with a dead wolf? You can't eat it.

I'm not going to open the article. Just this little bit is as much as I can take.

12. What a rotten excuse for a person.

Makes me despair.

[Evolve Dammit]

14. Such an asshole. Support your right to arm bears. And governor, Fuck You. nt

[Duppers]

16. Evil piece of shit!

For the poor wolf only living his life. 😢

[BlueMTexpat]

17. I always refer to this

particular GQP POS as "Giant Fart."

With apologies to farts, which actually have their uses.

I - with all Montanans I am related to or know - am absolutely appalled that he is the Governor.

Unfortunately, they were in the minority in 2020.

18. I detest these

people and their need to kill, kill, kill!!! Both animals and humans. Their need to assert white supremacy over everything is THE problem and has been THE problem of note with this society. Get rid of this sick, sick mentality and then maybe we can get down to solving other problems of inequality and injustice.

20. Why did he kill the wolf ? Was it a threat ? Are they overpopulated ?
