Eight sheep killed, two dogs injured in wolf attacks
September 26, 2014

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has confirmed that wolves from the Mt. Emily pack were responsible for back-to-back attacks on livestock on Sept. 15 and 16 in Umatilla County.

The two incidents happened in the same area and left eight sheep dead, two livestock-protection dogs injured and another dog missing, according to Fish and Wildlife investigation reports.

Three sheep were killed in the Sept. 15 attack on a public-land grazing allotment near Ruckle Junction north of La Grande.

There were five livestock guard dogs at the scene, a female and four pups. The female and one of the pups were injured, and another pup was missing.

Radio-collared Mt. Emily Pack wolf OR28 was documented by GPS four times to have been within a quarter-mile to a mile from the dead sheep the night of the attack.

Four sheep – two rams and two ewes – were found dead by a sheepherder on Sept. 16 near the site of the earlier attack. And a lamb that was attacked had to be killed because of its injuries.

OR28 was documented by GPS to have been 39 yards from the location of one of the dead sheep six hours before the sheepherder's discovery, according to the report from Fish and Wildlife.

The Sept. 15 attack was the first recorded incident of a livestock-protection dog being injured by wolves.

Maybe in Oregon it's their first documentation of wolves killing guard dogs, but in other states wolves have killed or injured many.

Guard dogs and a herder are two main deterrents according to the wolf supporters.  The general public falls for this bunk every time. This herder had five dogs and at least three were also attacked by the wolves.  As long as the wolf supporters can continue to appease and fool the public until they meet their goal of number of packs they are winning.  Once their goal is met they will walk away and we will have to deal with this CANCER on our own.  None of them will be available to take responsibility for this biggest wildlife management blunder of the century.

If the truth were to be known, WA made 15 bps along time ago, and when WDFW finally confirm the last of the bps, and delisting hits WA there will be the same lawsuits that occurred with the illegal introduction into ID, MT and Wyoming. The wolves will go unmanaged until they have accomplished the mission they were brought in for: end hunting, ruin cattle ranching on public lands and make rural life miserable.
