Hey Dave, very nice redirection of using the rescue attempt as being partially responsible for the calf's death when the necropsy stated it was malnourishment and consequently, the 5 week delay in NPS giving approval. 

If ADN is interested, I have a rough draft of the backstory of this piece that does not cast a positive light on NPS's actions (I am attempting to keep it at 750 words or less). Furthermore, this is the second piece of a three part editorial series on NPS Wildlife Management. The first piece was on NPS's wolf proposal for the Wolf Townships that was submitted to the Newsminer that has yet to be published. 

What all have in common is a fundamental question regarding Denali Wildlife Management: 

How do you manage wildlife in Denali without valuing the individuals/family groups that actually make up these wildlife populations? 

This is a question that they have yet to answer and they need to in regard to wolves, moose calves, and all wildlife.
