      'Shameful and Heartbreaking': Largest Wolf Cull in Modern History Underway in Sweden

      Outraged wildlife advocates demanded action from the U.S. government on Friday after learning that an endangered Mexican gray wolf--famous for wandering across the Southwest and named Anubis by schoolchildren--was illegally shot and killed in the Kaibab National Forest near Flagstaff, Arizona.
