World-famous wolf, Limpy, shot dead because of Bush and Cheney's policy of removing animals from the Endangered Species List.

The senseless slaughter of "Limpy" -- a world-famous wolf--was just the beginning of a new era for Northern Rockies wolves without federal protections.  At least 17 wolves have been killed so far.  Limpy was many things to many people -- to wolf-watchers, he was the hobbling member of  Yellowstone's famous Druid Peak Pack.  To Utahans, he was the first wolf to be seen in the state for more than 70 years.  But wolf 253M's celebrity didn't save him in the end.  Limpy and two other wolves were shot dead in an elk feeding ground, part of Wyoming's brutal shoot on-site polity that covers virtually the entire state.

This is a screwed up world. First they want to save the wolves, then they want to kill them all. What I'm thinking cannot be put down in words here. Yeah! Kill a limping defenseless animal....WHAT A MAN it makes you!!

Rest in Peace Limpy. Many will miss you.
