Mollie’s Pack and 1090F need your voice

For more than three decades, Mollie’s Pack has carried an unbroken family line back to the wolves restored to Yellowstone in 1995. They were named after Mollie Beattie, the first female Director of US Fish and Wildlife Service who oversaw the wolf reintroduction, and tragically died a year later. They are the park’s oldest continuously documented wolf pack and a living part of one of America’s greatest conservation stories.

Now, for the first prolonged period in the pack’s history, the Mollies have moved beyond Yellowstone’s protected boundaries into Wyoming’s trophy zone areas.

This is a family: five adults and five young pups, including 12-year old matriarch 1090F, one of the oldest wolves ever documented in Yellowstone. Their movement across an invisible boundary should not become a death sentence.

Wyoming Untrapped is calling for a season closure of Trophy Hunt Area 1, including hunting and trapping, along with intensified monitoring and proactive nonlethal livestock-conflict prevention.
