Two problem wolves involved in five separate incidents of killing livestock in the Keating Valley area were killed in Baker County on Saturday by animal-control agents with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Wildlife Services. Officials with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife on Aug. 29 authorized the lethal take by Wildlife Services after biologists and staff members from both agencies investigated and confirmed the final two livestock killing incidents at a private ranch. The first livestock kills took place on the evening of April 9, and the last happened the night of Aug. 27 on the same ranch. Investigators documented the loss of 29 domestic animals in the five separate incidents, all of which occurred on private property. Four of the five incidents occurred on one ranch, and the fifth happened on an adjacent ranch. Evidence including bite marks and other wounds on the livestock, track sizes, the wolves’ historic use of the area and the style of the kills confirmed that the same two wolves were involved in all of the livestock losses...StatesmanJournal.
