Reward Offered for Information on Second Red Wolf Death
November 2012. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service is requesting
assistance with an investigation involving the suspected illegal take of a
third radio-collared red wolf that was recently found dead. The wolf was
found with a suspected gunshot wound on November 2, 2012, north of Creswell,
N.C., near the Washington and Tyrrell county line.
This
is the third Red wolf that has been killed recently, after a wolf was shot in North Carolina in September, and
another Critically
Endangered Red wolf was killed in North Carolina.
Anyone
with information that directly leads to an arrest or a criminal conviction for
the suspected unlawful take of this red wolf may be eligible for a reward of up
to $2,500. Anyone with information on the death of this red wolf or any others,
past or future, is urged to contact Special Agent Sandra Allred at (919)
856-4786, Refuge Officer Frank Simms at (252) 216-7504 or North Carolina
Wildlife Resources Commission Officer Robert Wayne at (252) 216-8225.
The
red wolf is protected under The Endangered Species Act. The maximum criminal
penalties for the unlawful taking of a red wolf are one year imprisonment and
$100,000 fine per individual.
