Locals react to [California] state wolf kills
From PlumasSun.org:
Since California Department of Fish and Wildlife officials announced killing four gray wolves Oct. 24, reaction in Plumas and Sierra counties has been largely somber. Even ranchers who had lost livestock to wolves expressed regrets that the situation had escalated to lethally removing the apex predators.
“It’s just sad in so many ways — sad the wolves were put in this position,” said Rick Roberti in a telephone interview with The Plumas Sun. A Sierra County rancher who has lost several livestock to wolves, Roberti is president of the California Cattlemen’s Association.
