WALLOWA COUNTY — The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) has extended limited duration permits for livestock producers near Lostine, allowing them to continue efforts to remove a chronically depredating wolf until August 31. The permits, which were originally set to expire on July 31, have been extended due to ongoing depredation issues in the area.
The permits were initially issued following multiple wolf attacks on livestock in the southern portion of the Sled Springs Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) and the northern portion of the Minam WMU. Since May, local producers have reported three confirmed depredations and two probable attacks on their livestock, which led ODFW to authorize the removal of two wolves from the area.

When Francine Madden heard about a Wyoming man who killed a gray wolf after injuring it with his snowmobile and showing it off at his local bar, she was disturbed, but not very surprised.
She’s seen a lot during her almost three decades working as a mediator for wildlife conflict. She’s resolved disputes over gorillas in Uganda and tigers in Bhutan, but for 50-odd years, the management of gray wolves has been an intractable American problem.

As Colorado’s reintroduced wolves continue to explore the state, officials are grappling with how to balance supporting and managing wolves with maintaining the health of its agricultural industry.
“This is not biologically complex. This is socially and politically complex for us to do,” said Jeff Davis, director of Colorado Parks and Wildlife, at the Thursday, Aug. 22, commissioner meeting. “Wolves come with historical context and conflict. I would just say, the more we’re able to really listen to understand one another and the more we’re able to increase cooperation with one another — at least (Colorado Parks and Wildlife) and (Colorado Department of Agriculture) — I think we’ll all be better off in the long run.”
From Summit Daily:
Colorado Parks and Wildlife will look to continue adding to its gray wolf population this winter as it prepares to release between 30 to 50 wolves over the next three to five years.
The reintroduction goal, outlined by the state law, will require the agency to release between 10 to 15 each year. While the agency doesn’t yet have a source for the wolves it plans to release this winter, Reid Dewalt, deputy director of policy for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, announced the agency will again be releasing the animals in the northern part of the state at its commissioner meeting on Friday, Aug. 23.

In 2000, Germany had one pack of wolves. By 2022, there were nearly 200. That fall, one of those wolves happened to kill a 30-year-old pony named Dolly.
The incident would likely have remained a local curiosity had it not been for the pony’s owner: Ursula von der Leyen.
