Yellowstone National Park is now offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individual or individuals responsible for shooting a white wolf on the north side of the park near Gardiner, Montana.
National Park Service law enforcement believes the incident happened sometime between April 10 at 1 a.m. and April 11 at 2 p.m.
“Due to a tremendous desire by groups and individuals to donate for this reward, the park has established a Yellowstone Resource Rewards Fund through our charitable partner, Yellowstone Forever,” said Superintendent Dan Wenk. “Up to $25,000 from this Fund will pay for the reward in this case if there is a conviction. Any money leftover will be held for future resource violation cases in the park.”
