IN OCTOBER 1990, Richard Mann shot a red wolf that he feared was threatening his cattle. The wolf was a member of an âexperimental populationâ the federal Fish and Wildlife Service had introduced to eastern North Carolina a few years earlier in an effort to save the most endangered canine on the planet. When the federal government introduces endangered species like wolves, it often seeks local buy-in by allowing activities that would otherwise be prohibited. In this case, it permitted private landowners to kill a red wolf if it was âin the act of killing livestock or pets, provided that freshly wounded or killed livestock or pets are evident.â
Fortunately for Mann, the red wolf on his property hadnât yet attacked his livestock. Unfortunately for Mann, that meant he was prosecuted under the Endangered Species Act for preemptively killing the canine. He pled guilty, was fined $2,000, and was ordered to perform community service building âwolfhousesâ and feeding red wolves.
Since the late 1980s, federal biologists have been trying to keep a tiny population of endangered red wolves alive in and around two wildlife refuges on the Albemarle-Pamlico Peninsula, just inland from a string of barrier beaches in northeastern North Carolina. They have spent a lot of time, energy, and resourcesâin the face of concentrated but consistent local oppositionâwith relatively little to show for it.
