It's hard time get worked up over this kind of news, as it's simply going to happen on a regular basis. Wolves have to eat, and they eat whatever they can kill. The only real solution is to get rid of the cattle, or get rid of the wolves. Seems that people 100 years ago did what needed to be done. I hate seeing all the money being wasted on this issue when ranchers would probably take care of the problem at no cost to taxpayers if the state and federal government would stay out of it.
But that would ruin the agenda, wolves are being used to shut hunting down and drive livestock producers off public lands.

The government is the only ones who can manage the wolves today, and at great cost to the taxpayer.
Without poison and foothold traps the ranchers will never be able to manage them.

I don't expect Lisa Brown would do much for ranchers in regards to wolves

16+ years of wolves in WA and according to WDF&Wolves data wolves have not impacted the game herds.

I would expect to see new legislation from Joel and the rest of our NE legislators. The problem is getting help from the rest of the state's legislators! :bash:
Yep.

:bash:
Ranchers etc. with wolf problems need to get the wolf recipes going, WDFW/CNW etc. created the predation problem with their promotion and protection of wolves, and then knowing what other states had gone through, gave WA the worst wolf plan of any state to date. At the first sign of wolves ranchers need to implement their own wolf control methods. :twocents:
Washington will not get any wolf control except what comes from the public.
The finding "middle ground" is just more BS from WDFW and fake environmental groups.

Middle ground for starters would be open season on wolves, 16 years worth of lies from WDFW etc..

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

My source said the pack that attacked this calf was the Togo Pack. This calf had to be destroyed!

"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. :bash: :bash: :bash:

Pup training time, and cows etc. are easy prey for pups to practice on..
