While I am no fan of wolves, this slideshow is total BS. Almost all of those dead critters were winterkilled, not killed by wolves. Most of them had bee torn up by crows, eagles, magpies, and in some cases coyotes. Many of the pictures were taken before wolves were stocked in Idaho, as part of an effort to expand cougar hunting in the Clearwater area. I have spoken at length with the IDF&G biologist that has been tasked with dealing with the wolves, and he is quite familiar with the pictures and the guy that took them.
Spreading untruths (or even partial truths) doesn't help anyone's case. The best thing we can do is stick with the facts on wolves. I suggest you talk to the experts, the biologists that spend all their time working on this situation. You will get a ton of great information, maybe not as shocking, but every bit as valuable.
