Outrage after husky pup shot and killed by hunter
<p>WARNING: DISTURBING CONTENT</p>
<p>A wave of anti-hunting outrage has been sparked online after a hunter in Montana, US, took to social media to pose alongside the carcass of a Siberian husky that she had shot and skinned .</p>
<p>The woman in question, Amber Rose, claims that she mistook the dog for a wolf pup. She shared the graphic images on Facebook of her clutching a rifle and grinning while holding up the animal’s body.</p>
<p>“So this morning I set out for a solo predator hunt for a fall black bear however I got the opportunity to take another predator wolf pup 2022 was a great feeling to text my man and say I just smoked a wolf pup. #firstwolf #onelesspredatorMT,” Rose wrote.</p>
<p>“Amber Rose here hunted, shot, AND SKINNED a HUSKY.. not a wolf, an obvious #HUSKY,” one furious Twitter user pointed out.</p>
<p>“Also the fact that she is calling it a ‘pup’ concerns me that she thinks it’s OK to hunt young animals which, as you know, is not good for an area’s ecosystem #revokeherlicense,” the animal lover added.</p>

<p>Another user seethed that “this woman is bragging about trapping, killing, and skinning a dog while claiming it’s a wolf pup. This is very clearly a Siberian Husky … I hope that @MontanaFWP looks into this.”</p>
<p>The Flathead County Sheriff’s Office released a statement saying it had been contacted by someone who reported picking up “several husky and shepherd mix dogs” in the area of Doris Creek in the Flathead National Forest.</p>
<p>The department said it was advised that one of the dogs “may have been shot”.</p>
<p>“The parties were able to pick up 11 dogs which were turned over to Animal Control and taken to the animal shelter,” a statement read. “During this investigation, we were advised through Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks that one of the dogs may have been shot.”</p>
<p>The Sheriff’s Office, Animal Control and Fish and Game agencies say that they have launched investigations into the shooting.</p>
<p>Amber Rose reacted to the condemnation by admitting her mistake — but insisted that she shot the animal in self-defence.</p>
<p>“Yes I made a mistake because I did think it was a hybrid wolf pup,” she wrote, adding that she was unaware of several dogs “being dropped 11 miles into the wilderness”.</p>
<p>The woman pushed back against her critics by saying that she is “human” and made a mistake.</p>
