Court rules against using wolves for Nat'l Park elk control

A federal appeals court sided with Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park in a dispute with an environmental group that contends wolves should be reintroduced to control the elk population rather than leaving the task to volunteer hunters. In ruling on the suit brought by WildEarth Guardians, the court said rules governing hunting in the parks allow the killing of animals that are dangerous to humans or detrimental to the park.
