Should wolves be eliminated to save the caribou?
A recently implemented plan by British Columbia wildlife authorities to cull wolf packs that are preying on a thin caribou herd in the Selkirk Mountain Range has drawn fire from the Ktunaxa Nation. But faced with a growing wolf population and caribou numbers, wildlife authorities along the border between Washington, Idaho and British Columbia feel they have no choice.
Such a decision wasn’t taken lightly, said Wayne Wakkinen, a regional wildlife manager in northern Idaho who previously studied grizzlies and woodland caribou in the region as a research biologist.
