Well it was just a matter of a short time. We all knew it was going to happen, and it did.
It was reported that two Wolves went on a sport killing spree in
in Eastern Oregon just outside the city of Baker.
They killed 19 23 sheep and left them to rot.
Oregon Fish and Wildlife are encouraging ranchers to get more dogs and electric fence. ( I can't help but laugh at this)
So for the textbook theory that wolves only kill the week and old
that's pure bunk, and the wolves know it.
Sheep now, elk herds next.
Have a happy Thursday.

elkhunter76 - It couldn't have been wolves! It must have been some white males, ex-military types, dressed as wolves!

Just to let you know we're already swarming with yotes around here and the number of people screaming about fluffy being missing would drown out any wolf howl's! Send them up, we could use something to keep the yotes in check! It would be a good change of pace to watch the central park joggers running from wolves instead of muggers..

That's pretty crazy. I think it is past due that we start managing them like any other species, before it gets worse. I think the wolf reintroduction is great, but they can't be let to run amok, per se.

The coyotes we have here howl, and sound damn near close to any wolf howl I've heard (recorded, of course).

Have a happy Thursday. Well, in the wild they do only kill the sick and the old, but to them sheep are very easy prey. Even easier than a sick deer. PS You might need to rebuild your coursing pack and get after those wolves.

But to a wolf, everything seems to looks sick and old.

I think we need to round up some Schitt Eating Dogs and turn them loose in Washington D.C.

Well, in the wild they do only kill the sick and the old Hawk, that's the PC indoctrination that's feed to our youngsters here in America. It simply is not true, Predators love to eat healthy animal meat just as much as we do and prefer them. The weak and old just happen to be in the way for an easy kill.

Here's the newspaper account. I was wrong on the number slaughtered. Hey, leave those poor wolfies alone! They're just having fun! Oregon - A rancher loses 23 lambs, the first documented wolf attack since 1999
Thursday, April 16, 2009
RICHARD COCKLE
The Oregonian Staff
LA GRANDE -- The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has confirmed that a wolf or wolves killed nearly two dozen lambs on an eastern Oregon ranch.
Cameras placed after the first attack April 9 captured the images of two wolves when they returned April 12 or 13 to kill more lambs, Michelle Dennehy, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife spokeswoman, said Wednesday. The evidence also included bite marks and tracks.
The attacks are the first documented losses of livestock to wolves since the predators returned to Oregon in 1999.

That sucks. They are probably Idaho wolves, too.

Any naturalist will tell you that in any wild herd it's generally the slowest and least healthy that gets taken out of the gene pool by the predators. That's due to the fact that the healthy individuals can escape or fight off a predator. It's a law of nature. There is no reasonable controversy over this issue.
