SEATTLE — Bow-and-arrow hunters already have shot 17 of Montana's once-threatened wolf population since a controversial wolf hunt started at the beginning of September, while 60 wolves have been killed in neighboring Idaho.

Now, big game rifle-hunting season is about to start, bringing thousands of hunters into the mountains at a time when early snowfall will make wolves much easier to spot and chase. Conservation groups went to court Monday seeking an emergency injunction to block the hunts until a federal appeals court can decide whether they're legal to begin with.


From wikipedia:
Jupiter Hammon (born October 17, 1711 – died 1806?) was a Black poet and the first published Black writer in America, with a poem appearing in print in 1760. He is considered one of the founders of African American literature.

Hammon was a slave his whole life, owned by several generations of the Lloyd family on Long Island, New York. However, he was allowed to attend school, and thus (unlike many slaves) was able to read and write.
