Manitoba Sustainable Development is asking for information following a wolf being shot and killed. 

Sustainable Development says that a family of three black wolves have been a common sight along the stretch of road over the last few months until an adult male wolf was shot. 

The animal was shot with what is believed to be a rifle on Provincial Road 391 between Thompson and Nelson House on September 5th between 8:00pm and 9:00pm. 

No attempt was made to recover the body of the wolf or to make use of it. 

Anyone with information is asked to call the Sustainable Development Thompson district office at 204-677-6640 or the Turn In Poachers (TIP) line at 1-800-782-0076.
