SALEM, Ore. (AP) — A second wolf has been killed by authorities in northeastern Oregon in an attempt to stop attacks on cattle there.
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife says a young female from the Imnaha pack was shot on private land Wednesday night.
The department says the wolf was with four other wolves from the Imnaha pack, including one fitted with a radio-tracking collar, in an area that has seen wolf attacks on livestock.
It comes after another calf was found killed by a wolf this week.
Oregon has taken over management of wolves moving into the state since Congress lifted U.S. Endangered Species Act protections for packs introduced in Idaho starting in the 1990s.
