Yellowstone boss: Trump officials forced me out over wildlife advocacy

Dan Wenk is being used as an example to undermine culture of conservation, say former park service workers

The superintendent of Yellowstone national park says he has been forced out of his job by the Trump administration over his wildlife advocacy.

"It's a hell of a way to be treated at the end of four decades spent trying to do my best for the park service and places like Yellowstone, but that's how these guys are," said Dan Wenk, referring to the US interior department. "Throughout my career, I've not encountered anything like this, ever."
