Brandon Spigner - Beloved Yellowstone Wolf ‘Spitfire’ Killed By Trophy Hunter
In this article, they tell us about a wolf named, Spitfire. This wolf is the child of a famous wolf that inspired the book , American Wolf: A True Story of Survival and Obsession in the West. So Spitfire is basically like Blue ivy or North West. Spitfire was killed by a trophy hunter, people who hunt for sport and not survival. The act of "trophy hunting" goes to show the amount of respect we have for animals, and shows how sick a person can be to kill a living being for fun...but this is a reoccurring theme in America. And goes to show why Americans should not be able to buy and own guns.
The Article was published by Huffington Post a reliable liberal publican. I dont feel like anything would have affected what they wrote. This reminds me of all the poaching that goes on in the savannah in Africa where they hunt elephants and how we need to protect our endangered species because its only fair to them because they were "here" first.
