Groups Object To Wolf-Kill Rule Changes
Press Release
Environmental groups are objecting to proposed rule changes about Oregon's wolves. As Rob Manning reports, advocates are concerned that a temporary rule came out just a day before Wednesday's deadline to comment on a new wolf plan.
The temporary rule changes when a wolf can be killed for its pursuit of livestock.
Under the new rule, a problem wolf wouldn't have to continually appear on the same or adjacent properties, but just "in the area."
And, the rule's new language suggests that a wolf only needs to be involved in two livestock incidents – one of them fatal – rather than four.
Sean Stevens with Oregon Wild says those changes make it too easy to kill wolves.
