On January 19, 2012, The Province featured an article about the movie buying four wolf carcasses from a local trapper, two for props for the movie and two wolves for the cast to eat.[7] This angered environmentalists and animal activists, who were already irate that the movie depicts wolves in a negative light, specifically at a time when gray wolves had recently been removed from the Endangered Species Act in many western states.
In response to the portrayal of wolves in film, WildEarth Guardians started a drive to boycott the film.[8]
They ate wolves? Shit, I need to see this now.
