Washington state to kill up to 2 wolves in response to attacks on calves
Fox News
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife ordered the killing of two gray wolves Thursday after multiple recent attacks on cattle in the northeastern area of the state.
The attacks continued despite nonlethal efforts, such as transporting sick and injured cattle out of the Togo pack's territory, practicing carcass transportation, and deploying a radio-activated guard box to deter wolves. The killing of one or two wolves from the Togo pack's territory "is not expected to harm the wolf population's ability to reach the statewide or local recovery objective," the Department of Fish and Wildlife said, adding that they have recorded three known wolf mortalities this year and usually documents 12-21 mortalities per year.More Related News
