I thought it was already a near act of God to get approval anymore to lethally remove a wolf so I figured it had to be pretty real to need to take one. Yet WWF has found a way to prevent our WDFW from doing its job.... https://wdfw.wa.gov/species-habitats/at-risk/species-recovery/gray-wolf/updates/court-approves-request-temporary-restraining-order-prevent-sherman-wolf-removal Court approves request for temporary restraining order to prevent Sherman wolf removal Publish date Oct. 14, 2025 Today, Oct. 14, 2025, a King County Superior Court commissioner entered a temporary restraining order that prohibits the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) from lethally removing one wolf from the Sherman pack in Ferry County. As a result, the Department cannot remove a wolf from the Sherman pack as authorized by WDFW Deputy Director Amy Windrope on Oct. 9, 2025. Information about the authorization appears in a separate update. Washington Wildlife First and other parties filed the initial petition for injunction and motion for a temporary restraining order after the Department announced the Deputy Director’s authorization. King County Superior Court commissioner Mark Hillman found that the petitioners had met the criteria for temporary injunctive relief. The court will hold a preliminary injunction hearing on Oct. 28, 2025. WDFW’s 2011 Wolf Conservation and Management Plan (PDF) and wolf-livestock interaction protocol (PDF)provide guidance on addressing wolf-livestock conflict, including lethal removal to address patterns of depredation, such as when department staff confirms three predations by wolves on livestock within 30 days or four within 10 months, where non-lethal deterrents have not prevented wolf-livestock conflict. |

:bash: :bash: :bash: Until we get the courts and "feelings" out of wildlife management we are screwed. All of these decisions should be made by the wildlife biologists PERIOD. Same with hound hunting, trapping, etc..... |

Why is a king county judge ruling on what goes on in ferry county? Maybe try and stay in your lane. |

Sounds like a local issue that should be dealt with appropriately. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

All this does is, increases the chances of a illegal killing. A big middle finger to the conservation groups. |
