loved by the wolf masses and photographed and they got killed and this this just went viral and this huge hatred for these people who shot these wolves because they were so special and I make the point when I give talks and stuff I said you know if you really feel that strongly it's

You should really be concerned because every year there's about 300 wolves shot that way in Montana, but you don't know them. They're not famous. They have just as important of lives. They live, die, eat, breathe, get injured, heal up. The same as these movie star wolves in Yellowstone. And you should feel that way about, oh, wolves, in my mind. Oh, yeah. In my mind.

Right, yeah, yeah, the dentist. Dina Dentist killed him, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It is bizarre. Thank you for understanding that. I forgot about Cecil. But when we were first... monitoring the wolves and glacier. There was just a handful and we would catch them and we would give them names because it's easier. Like Phyllis was wolf 8550 and Mojave was wolf 8963. They had both names and numbers. And so when we did our scientific papers and reports, we used a number.

Because we were told by the officials that we don't want you to name the animals because what happens when Phyllis kills a cow, if that happens?

Then you can't manage Phyllis. So we went along with it, but we used the names and we did the scientific stuff with numbers. But then when you go into the park, people would want to know what's going on. You need to talk about these different wolf numbers, 86, 54. And they say, well, who is that? Oh, that's Aspen. Oh, yeah. And they would know by the name. So whatever works.

Yes, and I know the wolves in Yellowstone, they don't have names, they have numbers, but they're so identifiable by 907 or whatever that it becomes like a name.
