Officials in Oregon are asking for help finding whoever is responsible for poisoning an entire wolf pack in the eastern part of the state, plus three other wolves from other packs, earlier this year.
December 2, 2021 GMT
Officials in Oregon are asking for public assistance to locate the person or persons responsible for poisoning eight wolves in the eastern part of the state earlier this year. Oregon has only about 170 wolves within its borders, and the loss of eight “is so egregious,” Kamal said.“The poisoning of the Catherine wolf pack is tragic and disgusting” said Sophia Ressler, a staff attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity. “No wolf should have to suffer such a fate. Awful events like this show how much more work is needed for us to coexist with these vitally important animals.
However, wolves remain absent across most of their historical range. Wildlife advocates argue that continued protections are needed so they can continue to expand in California, Colorado, Oregon and other states. The animals were sent to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service forensics lab in Ashland to determine the cause of death.
