Two wolves from Washington state gray wolf pack killed for preying on cattle - U.S. News
They got two more; interesting that they shot them from the air using a helicopter.
On another note and a part of the story "they" don't like to talk about.......
Hormones in milk, beef, could put kids at even higher risk « Food Democracy
from the article:
"As for frequency of illegal use of hormones, that’s something no one can know for sure. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the agency responsible for overseeing meat production, does no testing for natural hormones and only sporadic testing for the synthetic hormones. Still, illegal hormones have been found by more rigorous testers, such as the Swiss who, in 1999, detected diethylstilbestrol (DES), the cancer-causing, anti-miscarriage drug, in two shipments of American beef. The FDA banned the use of DES for growth promotion in chicken and lambs in 1959 and in all animal feed in 1979. "
So, question; which is more of a threat, beef pumped full of growth hormones, DES and anti-biotics or wolves? I feel sorry for any wolf who unknowingly eats any beef pumped full of chemicals.
