Newsnm note - (Spence) Many questions arise after reading this story. Did taxpayers provide the money to determine which "litter" this predator came from? Why don't the murders of every human being warrant the same concern for forensic evidence gathering as a wolf? How long are we going to allow people who want to spend our precious resources on wildlife predator death investigations remain in charge of the purse strings of government? Where is the $10,000 in reward money coming from? How much in reward money was put up by the same group for the last homeless person found dead from foul play?
