The photo in question was immediately removed from West Saint Paul Antiques website in June of 2022. This photo by Chadden Hunter, an Austrlian-Born BBC producer who has worked on some of the channel's biggest wildlife serles. This photo was taken in Yellowstone. It was on a web page called North High Shcool Class of '66 Facebook Index page. This is one of the web pages that I maintain for my high school classmates. This web page monitors and highlights things that happened on the High School Class Facebook page over the years. I am positively sure where the photo came from, Facebook. It was shared by one of my classmates which I will not mention at this time due to his illness.
.
In fact this particular photo was altered a little from the original photo by someone and was shared over 5,000 times on Facebook. There are stories all over the internet about it. The photo on West St Paul Antiques website is the same Wolf Pack photo from Facebook. On "Josh Duhamel" (facebook.com/JoshDuhamel) the photo in question had over 4,000 shares. I placed a photo tab with a link to the same photo on my High School Class Facebook Index page, so people can see what the photo looked like. In fact all you have to do is Google "wolf pack photo" to find it on the internet today.
'
I hate to sound like a broken record, But all the images / photos / exhibits in question by your Law Firm. They're all informational and educational photos with no profit or gain by West St Paul Antiques.

I was not approached by PicRights again on this matter, not like the first time back in 2017.
.
This letter(s) from PicRights goes on to say,
.
Please be aware that removal of the imagery alone will not resolve this issue. We also require payment of compensation in the amount of $800.00 for the past unauthorized usage of the imagery.
