As of Oct.6, 2017 we learned that Oregon will continue to kill members of the Harl Butte Pack, this time issuing kill permits to livestock managers. ODFW  authorized additional incremental lethal take of up to four wolves from the pack, which may be killed either by ODFW staff or by livestock producers affiliated with a local grazing association who will be provided with a limited duration lethal take permit. The permit is valid until 10/31/2017 and allows them to kill wolves in pastures on public or private land currently occupied by their livestock.   Killing wolves has not resulted in reducing conflict in the area. http://www.dfw.state.or.us/wolves/wolf_program_updates.asp

Five wolves, including the breeding female from the Meacham pack, have been killed and there are only about 100 wolves in the entire state of Oregon.  Yet they have OVER 1.3 MILLION COWS! 55,000 of those cows have died from things like weather, disease, and domestic dogs before being shipped to the slaughterhouse.

In addition, we know that poaching has taken place after finding the remains of OR-33 that were found on April 23rd of this year.

Enough is enough! She needs to answer! Stop killing wolves to appease the livestock industry under an outdated wolf plan.  It is time for a plan THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE LETHAL CONTROL because that does not work!! ~`L.G
