Robert Wielgus has made wolves his life’s work and it paid handsomely, if not in the manner in which he expected. “The director of Washington State University’s Large Carnivore Conservation Laboratory has published research that says wolf populations can actually grow after they are culled because they move around and reproduce more. Then they kill even more livestock,” Greg Piper writes in The College Fix.
Now, “A year after Wielgus filed an academic freedom complaint against the university for retaliation against him because of his research, the parties have settled, and the wolf expert is walking away from WSU $300,000 richer,” Piper reports.
