SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — The state of Washington has announced plans to kill more wolves from a pack that is repeatedly preying on cattle in Ferry County.

Conservation groups contend it may be time to consider moving the cattle off of public lands in the Kettle River Range.

The state Department of Fish and Wildlife said Wednesday that it planned to kill more members of the Old Profanity Territory wolf pack. The agency killed one member of the pack last month in an effort to change the pack’s behavior.

Since then the pack is blamed for killing two cattle and injuring five. The pack is credited with a total of 27 depredations since last September.

  1. “Conservation groups contend it may be time to consider moving the cattle off of public lands in the Kettle River Range.”

    For anyone to think that after nearly ten years anything is going to change, I would think they are extremely naïve or stupid. How many wolf packs have been wiped out to accommodate this guy? Wolves are not going to change, and people want them on the landscape as the natural residents they are.

  2. The worst thing after the wolf killings is the destruction of Dr. Weilgus’ career and discrediting his findings by the university catering to the ranchers too. Talk about a den of thieves.
