Second pack of wolves relocated in Yellowstone ■ lawsuit: a court hearing will determine the predators controversial future in U S Park YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK. Wyo. (AP) - Wildlife officials began releasing 11 Canadian wolves into pens at Yellowstone on Tuesday in the second installment of a plan to restore the endangered predator to the American Rockies Twenty wolves wore flown aboard a U S Forest Service plane from Fort St John, British Columbia, to Bozeman, Mont., overnight. Eleven were brought to Yellowstone, while the nine others were flown to Idaho. Also Tuesday, a judge sot final hearings for nest month on a lawsuit seeking to keep more wolves from being reintroduced and to cut off federal funding for the animals already brought in The latest Yellowstone wolves were taken by truck, sled and snowcoach — a converted van on a snowmobile-type track —« to their one acre pen* in the tun kcountry All the wolves were to lie in their pens by evening. They will stay about 10 week* to get them used to Yellow slum* and reduce the chance they will try to return to Canada once fluey are released into the wild The nine Idaho wolves were lo lie released directly into th«' wild by Wednesday, although official* were still awaiting twi results showing the animal* are free of diseases that could endanger humans ur livestock The wolves were shipped as part of a U S. Fish and Wildlife Service campaign to reintroduce the species to the United State* Wolves roamed Yellowstone until the IttMH, when they were wiped out by a federal program last year 14 Canadian waive* were released in Yellowstone and 15 in Idaho over strong protests from ranchers, who feared the wolves would kill their livestock. In response, three lawsuits, which have been consolidated into one. were filed by the American Farm bureau and other commodity groups, the Audubon Sot iaty and Sierra Club, and two residents of northwestern Wyoming The contentions by the three groups vary The commodity groups say the relocation is not necessary because more than 52,000 wolves exist in Canada and northern Montana Tl»e environmental group* say the wolves deserve full prole* * lion under the Endangered Species Act They are now des ignated an experimental specie*, meaning they can tie killed if they are caught destroying live stock The residents. lames and (.at Cd- Oil.
