A popular Yellowstone National Park wolf was shot dead by a hunter in Montana last month, reported the New York Times.

The wolf, known as Spitfire or 926F, was shot within the hunting laws established by Montana in 2011 after the state permitted the hunting of the animals. Several hundred wolves are killed every year, the Times reported.
