SNOWMOBILE HUNT KILLS HUNDREDS OF WOLVES! Hunters, armed with snowmobiles and rifles went on a record wolf kill in the winter of 1997. As many as 635 wolves were killed, many left dead and discarded in an area known as Rennie Lake, about 150 kilometres from the Saskatchewan border in Canada. It was the worst wolf hunt in the area in 10 years, which then was about 500 wolves killed! Reason given for these hunts... a growing demand for fur from the fashion industry and the need for employment in the North
