After gradually killing off the caribou they preyed on, the wolves on the island were in danger of dying of starvation without intervention

A Canadian-U.S. team has successfully moved six wolves off a northern Ontario island to one on the U.S. side of Lake Superior.

Isle Royale National Park superintendent Phyllis Green says the wolves were moved over the weekend from Michipicoten Island, where the pack was at risk of starvation, to Isle Royale in Michigan. The wolves first got over to Michipicoten Island in the winter of 2014 when ice allowed them to cross over from the Ontario mainland.She says the six wolves will be reunited on Isle Royale with two other wolves that had been previously moved off the island a month earlier.

Many heartfelt thanks to those who rescued these wolves from starvation and relocated them to, hopefully, a better habitat.

Maybe they should move these wolves somewhere else, obviously there is nothing for them to eat.

I camped as a boy in Isle Royale and was able to spot many and many caribous (or moose). Hope the wolves and prey benefit the island’s ecosystem.

THANK YOU

Too bad the Gov't of the day couldn't do this with the homeless... not ship them out but help them.... I don't think the Wolves would have starved.... Nice. Why do these wolves get sent to a Howling Lodge?
