In Protect The Wolves by Lynda6 Comments

In August, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) killed two wolves. Then two more… all at the request of ranchers.

The wolf population is lower than it was in 2015 when wolves were removed from the endangered species list, and if we don’t take action now, we may not have any wolves left in Oregon.

Not only has the ODFW been bowing to the demands of the cattle industry by killing entire packs, but the new plan by ODFW includes a provision to allow for trophy hunting of wolves. To make matters worse, the agency will no longer proactively provide the public with information about wolf killings.

Despite scientists quoted in ODFW’s own plan asserting that the plan is fundamentally flawed, ODFW is still moving forward. We need to take action and stand up for wolves.

The cattle industry wants to protect livestock. But it’s just people like you and me looking out for wolves. And frankly, there are better ways to protect cattle than by killing wolves.

We need a plan that emphasizes transparency, accountability, and preventative measures – not something that allows for trophy hunting and state agencies that bow to the will of large livestock producers.

  1. Cattle run the wolves natural prey away and force wolves to prey on cattle. Public land should be run for public us NOT just for cattle/sheep. Stop the welfare ranching, giving the wolves more space.
    Also force ranchers to use nonlethal mean of deterrents and Verify(not just taking the word of the ranchers) before taking action against wolves. Stop paying ranchers more than market price for wolf kills on cattle.

  2. Despicable ranchers. Just use proven methods to keep wolves away. It may not always be the wolves. Cows die from natural causes, wild packs of dogs attack,bears etc. Stop murdering them to appease ranchers.

  3. This wolf killing for a small special interest group is unacceptable.

    It is also not very smart. Science has proven that wolves are a keystone species essential to the ecosystem that supports human life.

    A majority of the people do not want them killed.

    It must stop.
