Title: Wolf population passes milestone; DeFazio revives plan to ban poison trap
Post by: JDHasty on March 10, 2017, 09:19:07 AM: Gray wolves continue to expand in territory and numbers in Eastern Oregon, setting the stage for potentially greater conflict with ranchers and livestock owners as the state updates its master plan for managing the still vulnerable animals.

This week, fish and wildlife officials said the wolf population passed a significant milestone. Biologists counted at least seven or more breeding pairs in a broad swath of Eastern Oregon for the third consecutive year.

Seattle (the voting base of WA) is a special kind of liberal, ranked the #3 most liberal city in US, even more liberal than Los Angeles, only Oakland and San Francisco are ranked more liberal than Seattle.
