On Nov.24, near Yellowstone's northeast entrance, Spitfire. a female grey wolf, was shot and killed by a hunter as she approached a group of cottages.

"It was a legal harvest." Abby Nelson, a wolf management specialist said. The circumstances are obviously a little bit harder for people to stomach, but that pack has showed signs of habituation (习惯). They just stand there and have no fear. Wolf hunters can easily pick the one they want. "

The carefree relation that some Yellowstone wolves have built with humans is reportedly attractive for hunters who look for an easy kill.

In the wake of yet another famous Yellowstone wolf meeting a violent end outside the park, officials are actively rethinking, how to manage wildlife habituation

Smith, a wolf biologist for Yellowstone says, "Now we re thinking of pounding them. "Park officials might use fireworks, and paintball or beanbag guns when they approach humans in the park. "If you get close to people, you're going to get attacked."

If you think this sounds cruel, you're not alone. Seeing these creatures from the roads that wind through the park not only allows tourists to witness something amazing. but also to reconnect with nature in a way that is better than any conservation campaign. But there's also a growing sense that the present policy of doing nothing isn't workings: more wolves will needlessly die and the broken record of hunters scoring easy kills will goon.

As Smith adds. urging people to keep wolves wild when meeting them halfway is a big ask. Sill, he's hopeful to preserve the world's best place to observe free ranging wolves; it's a policy change that tourists can be involved in.

".......Perhaps Spitfire's death will accomplish some good and we'll all come together to a better job on managing crowds and roads and wolves in Yellowstone," Smith said.
