Teanaway pack kills livestock near Cle Elum

[winshooter88]

Just saw this in the Wenatchee World. A wolf from the Teanaway pack killed a yearling angus, confirmed by the USFWS. It was found on July 16th by a WSU graduate student doing research on wolves.

Wolves doing what wolves do and have done for the last hundred something thousand years.  Too bad humans can't do what they need to stop it....like the old timers did.

I can't believe these types of stories are still making the news. This is news? Really? That's like printing a story in a newspaper- "The Sun Rose this Morning!"

So every time a wolf kills something it's going to make front page news? People do realize wolves have to eat, right?

I don't understand what the end goal is for the people wanting to shoot all the wolves. Is it extinction?  It seems like a shortsighted and ignorant solution to a complex problem. It also seems ignorant to joke about poaching on a public hunting forum.  I'm sure I'll get some flack for saying it but I just don't get the hatred for predators.

What I don't understand why our tax dollars are spent on range riders and damage payouts that seem to be taking a priority over other wildlife related matters.  While I have no inherent "hatred" for wolves, I feel that they are not important on my list of must haves in this or any other place for that matter.  Easy to troll away from the city couch on this subject, unless one has ever been a livestock rancher or farmer many people probably do not possess a thorough enough understanding of the process it takes, and the resources required to get a product to market.  We have lots of better things like CWD to spend WDFW and other funds on in my opinion.  This one is pure upside down ideology (again-my opinion).  Period.

I think it's more of a hatred for uncontrolled predators! Plus the anti's and WDFW who are complicit in allowing them to go unchecked when there are so many states with recent reintroduction history to look at for what wolves will do to ungulates and livestock

Say it aint so! I can't believe those red flags didn't work. But, I bet the WAG will vote unanimously to cull the pack. Wanna bet? Anyone?

I have a deep hatred of wolves and everything they represent. We need to try to eliminate them even tho it is damn near impossible. It is unacceptable to have honest hard working folks face economical hardships due to a protected predator who's sole existance is not only unnatural but driven by liberal adgendas to destroy game herds and increase people's dependance on the government.

And how is their existence unnatural?  Weren't there wolves here before people killed them off in the first place? Not trying to stir the pot but aren't they protected because there aren't that many of them?
