Idaho commission says wolf-livestock kills hit record in past year
From the Spokesman-Review:
Idaho’s Rangeland Resources Commission says wolf attacks on livestock in Idaho hit a record over the past year, and they’re anticipating more this summer.
From January to June of 2018, state and federal authorities documented 61 confirmed wolf-livestock kills, the commission said Tuesday, and over the fiscal year that ended in June confirmed wolf-livestock kills on a record 113 different Idaho cattle or sheep ranches. That was followed by three incidents in July in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area in which wolves killed a total of seven sheep.
