More than $130k in rewards offered to catch wolf poachers in Oregon
From KOIN.com:
Police and Oregon wildlife officials are offering rewards totaling over $130,000 for information leading to an arrest or citation in various wolf poaching incidents throughout the state over the last two years.
Wolf poaching has been a growing concern, especially since gray wolves are protected under the Endangered Species Act in the western two-thirds of Oregon.
According to an April report from the Oregon Wolf Conservation and Management, the state’s wolf population did not grow at all in 2023. This marked the first year of zero annual growth in 16 years.
