Poor little guy. Wolves are such beautiful creatures. Whoever did this is a fucking animal (no pun intended)

Sounds like the wolf was in pretty poor shape before it even got in the river.

Apparently they shot it with a tranq dart, which seemed to me to be pretty stupid. I would have thought the last thing you wanted to do to a weak, starving wolf with hypothermia is put it to sleep. The wolf ended up swimming back out into the middle of the river before falling asleep and going into cardiac arrest. but then I'm not a Vet and it seemed to turn out ok in the end, so well done to them.

Well, I'm sure whoever did it was actually trying to kill him, not wound him. Maybe some farmer caught him in bed with his wife...?
Why is everyone so quick to judge whoever shot it and not the wolf itself? Wolves are awesome animals but, they are not gentle creatures. Just ask Liam Neeson.
Under different circumstances, that "poor little guy" would be more than happy to tear your face off. And then someone would be licensed to shoot it, most likely for a reward.>> ^EMPIRE:
