The WSU wolf researcher who criticized the lethal removal of the Profanity Peak wolf pack in August plans to sue the university for denial of free speech rights and leave his teaching position.
Robert Wielgus, director of WSU’s Large Carnivore Conservation Laboratory, said the university discredited and suppressed his speech after he spoke to The Seattle Times last summer, and again when he emailed a public statement to the Washington Wolf Advisory Group in March.
