From Cowboy State Daily:
Ranchers in northern Colorado wonder if the growing wolf population is causing coyotes to be more aggressive toward livestock. “In 30 years of doing this, I’ve never seen anything like that,” a rancher said about two coyotes attacking healthy livestock.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Assemblywoman Heather Hadwick held a press conference to share updates on her wolf legislative package and funding request.
Ranchers, law enforcement and community members attended the event and shared their experiences with what Hadwick calls the wolf crisis.
From Fox 40 News:
(FOX40.COM) — The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has awarded $2 million in grants to organizations to reduce “wolf-livestock conflict,” the department announced in a July 1 release.

The president of the Royal Spanish Hunting Federation (RFEC), Josep Escandell, explained in an interview with Europa Press that, in his opinion, the absence of a “joint stance” on the conservation status of the wolf “puts Spain in a bad light” with respect to the institutions of the European Union (EU).
From Club de Caza:
Europe’s debate over coexistence with the wolf is no longer focused only on population estimates, legal status or management quotas.
At the latest plenary meeting of the EU Platform on Coexistence between People and Large Carnivores, held in Brussels on June 5, a very practical tool came into focus: protective vests for hunting dogs.
From Nisqually Valley News:
The brothers, Nicky and Cerberus, are being introduced into the Tenino sanctuary as companions for Billie, a gray wolf, and Ellie, a wolfdog. Billie lost her companion Guy to old age in June 2025, and Ellie lost her companion Penn early this year.
Because wolves are deeply social animals, sanctuary staff were keen to find new partners for Billie and Ellie.

Historically present in southeastern Europe, the golden jackal was observed in France for the first time in 2017.
An international study, coordinated by a scientist from INRAE, shows that the presence of this canid is expanding across the European continent partly thanks to human activities, which allow it to escape a dominant predator and competitor, the wolf.
From Phys.Org:
Wolves use their urine to communicate with each other. A recent study looked at the reactions of a pack to the marking of an intruder. This is a first step toward understanding what attracts or repels canids.
From Jackson Hole News & Guide:
Over 30 years ago, federal wildlife managers reintroduced wolves to Yellowstone National Park — and the canines began dining on elk, culling the population, leaving less wapiti to browse on aspens, willows and cottonwoods.
In the years since, observers of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem have likely heard some version of a commonly held belief: Wolf reintroduction reduced over browsing and helped those trees rebound. Scientists call that process a “trophic cascade,” jargon for a ripple effect down the food chain.
But, since the early 2000s, researchers studying forestry in Yellowstone have disagreed about and debated the magnitude of that effect, and whether reintroduction has, in fact, helped aspens rebound to the extent the public believes.

Lifelong trapper Wesley Burris makes a bold claim: His father trapped and killed the last remaining lobo in New Mexico in the 1930s, around the time the subspecies was wiped out in the state.
Burris said his family has been ranching around the San Mateo Mountains since the early 19th century, with as many as 3,000 head of cattle at one time.
“They had lots of trouble with wolves and mountain lions and bears,” Burris said. “That’s where my people was raised. … Back then there was no fences, there was no nothing. It was wide open country.”
