Four Wolves That Wandered Into Whitehorse Killed By Conservation Officers

  • Four Wolves That Wandered Into Whitehorse Killed By Conservation Officers
WHITEHORSE — Conservation officers in the Yukon have killed four wolves that began following people in Whitehorse neighbourhoods.
 
Environment Yukon says the animals began creeping into three areas in the city in the last couple of weeks.
 
Conservation officer Kevin Johnstone says that in one case, a pack of wolves pursued someone walking a dog and in another incident a wolf injured a dog that wandered into the bush.
 
Johnstone says it's not known why the wild animals began entering residential areas.
 
He says low levels of snow this year could mean it's tougher for wolves to catch their prey or they could be drawn to a food source in Whitehorse.
 
Johnstone says people should keep their pets on a leash when they're outdoors and call Environment Yukon if they see a wolf.
