SAGOLA, Mich. (AP) — More than three dozen wolves are believed to have been deliberately and illegally killed in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula within the past five years.

That’s according to state Department of Natural Resources data obtained by The Associated Press under the Freedom of Information Act.

Some residents resent the wolf’s presence. Some believe the wily predators are decimating the whitetail deer herd and raiding livestock.
