SALEM, Ore. (AP) — The Oregon Legislature will hear about wolves from ranchers and wildlife advocates.
The House Resources Committee is holding a hearing Wednesday on bills offered by the Oregon Cattlemen’s Association.
The bills seek permission for ranchers to shoot wolves that threaten livestock, dogs and people, and payment from the state for livestock killed by wolves.
Oregon Cattlemen’s Association President Bill Hoyt says they are willing to let wolves into Oregon, but they want the tools to protect their livestock.
