Jack Field We happen to care!! Grazing Federal Allotments needs to be Banned as well as PEOPLE owning more livestock than their own land can support on its own
“I’m disappointed there was another depredation, but happy to see the department is ready to step in,” said Jack Field, Washington Cattlemen’s Association executive vice president.
It’s the third time the Department will remove wolves since the predators began recolonizing Washington about a decade ago, The Capital Press reported. There are now 19 wolf packs, all of them east of the Cascades.
The state has authorized killing a portion of the Profanity Peak pack in Ferry County after investigators confirmed its members have killed at least four cattle this year. There are now 19 wolf packs, all of them east of the Cascades.
OLYMPIA — State wildlife managers are planning to kill some wolves in a northeastern Washington pack after its members killed at least four cattle this year.
Department of Fish and Wildlife Director Jim Unsworth authorized killing a portion of the Profanity Peak pack in Ferry County after investigators on Wednesday confirmed a calf had been killed by a wolf. There are at least 11 wolves in the pack.
The department says preventive measures — such as removing carcasses or increasing human presence — have not stopped livestock from being attacked, and such attacks will continue if the animals aren’t removed.
The agency says it is following guidelines developed with an advisory group on when to remove wolves, including that there be at least four livestock attacks in a year.

People who are capable of this with a smile on their face are sickening. May God have mercy on your soul. Satan has been happy to lead you away from God’s grace. Obviously, the most important thing in your life is money. You should be ashamed of yourself for putting your greed ahead of the wishes of many,
Leave the wild alone
Cattle are not going extinct, loosing a few heads of cattle in the scheme of ranchers large herds mean nothing, so I’m miniscule! I am sure insurance Covers their losses.
If they concentrated on where their biggest losses came from… they wouldnt even Notice Predator Loss!
Begs the question, why are no other ranches having problems ? This particular ranch was also the cause of death for another pack( wedge pack) . What is he not doing to prevent depredations? Is he not taking proper care of his cattle? Are they sickly, is he not burying cattle that has died from sickness ? Will he even try nonlethal methods? And why are we killing wolves on public lands and compensating him for cattle deaths on public land ? I know that lethal removal was part of the terms for allowing wolves on Washington state lands but killing wolves at the behest of one rancher more than once needs to be looked at a lot closer in my opinion.
