Wolves are still listed as an endangered species, & due to finding some injured or killed cattle near where the Profanity Peak (Ferry Co.) wolf pack inhabits, Washington State has passed plans to kill the entire pack of 11 wolves. The state initially announced plans to partially remove the pack (prior to trying non-lethal methods), but after killing 2 wolves, changed its plans to killing the entire pack. In situations with livestock, the government is to try non-lethal methods of solving the issue prior to killing. However in this case, they did not & went straight to killing, the initial plan being to kill half of the pack.
It's great that profit (domestic agriculture) surpasses the risk of disrupting the natural balance of the ecosystem & continuing an attack on an endangered species.
