SPOKANE, Wash. -
The state of Washington says wolves attacked at least five calves in Ferry County last week, killing one and injuring four.
 
The attacks occurred Wednesday through Friday in an area once occupied by the Profanity Peak wolf pack, which was wiped out last year.
 
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife says it is studying the latest attacks and weighing non-lethal ways to prevent future wolf attacks.
 
Agency director Kelly Susewind says the situation is evolving quickly. The state estimates the pack has three or four adults and two or three pups.
 
Wolves were wiped out in Washington early in the last century, but returned to the state early this century from neighboring areas. Most of the wolves are located in northeastern Washington, where there have been conflicts with ranchers.


Perhaps it should have said Wiped at

Thanks for Posting the Pictures, Dale..


"The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife says it is studying the latest attacks and weighing non-lethal ways to prevent future wolf attacks."

The rancher can expect more of his cattle going to wolves as WDFW screw around some more, non-lethal methods have never worked.

Where is CNW and their famous range riders? Or their call for culling the pack? My guess is WDFW and CNW are waiting for another lawsuit from their partners to stop any control before coming out in favor of culling wolves.

Every time I see this I hate it, not sure which I hate the most, the dirty wolves or the dirty bunch that are responsible for uncontrolled wolves in WA.

"As of Monday morning, the department had not given notice that it intends to cull the pack. The department has agreed to give environmental groups one business day’s notice to allow them to seek a temporary restraining order."

I see no gain in targeting one pack, looks like several overlap the region.  Simply providing space and opportunity for the next bunch.  Get them delisted, fed and state, and give them the same status as a coyote.  Pay for kills quickly and completely and stop throwing $$$$$$ at them.  The bottom line would be a fraction of current spending.
